Abstract excerpt
Persistency is the rate of decrease after milk production peak, mathematical models such as Wood's can be used to estimate it for describing the lactation curve and its rate of descent; random regression models are also useful, as they describe the genetic lactation curve for each animal. The objective of this study was to compare Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP), marker-assisted BLUP (MBLUP) model and...
