Associations of breed and feeding management with milk production

The objective of this study was to identify sources of variation able to explain differences between herds in milk and milk component production curves obtained from routine evaluation software.
Variance Components for Test-Day Milk, Fat, and Protein Yield, and Somatic Cell Score for Analyzing Management Information

The objective of this study was to estimate variance components for TD milk, fat, and protein yield, and SCS by using a random regression TD model. Special focus is given to HCUR and HTD variances, which are mainly related to between- and within-herd management.
