The objetive of this work was to evaluate the effect of environmental factors on the shape of lactation curves (Quadratic, Gama, Linear Hiperbolic and Jenkins & Ferrel) of Saanen, Alpine and Toggenburg as well as mixed breed goats. Data from 299 lactations of 215 goats raised on two farms in the Federal District from 1995 to 1997 was used. The parameters of the lactation curves (yield at start of lactation- a, rate of increase of milk production – b e […]
