The objective of this study was to evaluate the viability of using partial records of milk yield instead of the production accumulated at 305 days of lactation to obtain the predicted breeding values (BV). Sires and cows ranked by BV using accumulated milk yield records at 90(T90), 150(T150) and 210(T210) days of lactation were compared with BV estimated by using production up to 305 days (T305). An animal model was used to estimate the animals BV including herd-year, season and […]
