The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of year of calving (YC), season of calving (SC), genetic group (GG), calf sex (SEX), reason for drying-off (RD), cow age at calving (AGE, in months), lactation length (LL, in days) and sire (SIRE) on milk yield (MY) in a Holstein breed herd. A total of 684 observations, from 267 cows raised in a physical models of dairy cattle production system maintained at Embrapa – Centro de Pesquisa de Pecuária […]
