A parametric measure of lactation persistency in dairy cattle
Current measures of lactation persistency are not uniformly applicable to the variety of lactation curves for individual cows. Moreover, they are either difficult to interpret or are functions of lactation yield and therefore inappropriate. In this study, a simple, robust parametric measure is deriv...
