Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This meticulous book is a comprehensive examination of milk secretion in dairy cows. The author explores the relationship between lactation curves and gestation, providing valuable insights into how these factors influence milk yield. The author draws upon advanced statistical treatments of data from the American Guernsey Cattle Club to construct lactation curves and identify the constants that describe the rate of milk secretion. The study also uncovers how pregnancy affects milk yield, with particular attention to the role of an inhibitor that suppresses milk production. By incorporating this knowledge, the author develops correction factors that enable the adjustment of lactation yield records for variations in the length of the record and the duration of gestation. This book's detailed analysis and practical applications make it an invaluable resource for dairy scientists, cattle breeders, and anyone interested in the physiology of milk production.
