A note on a partial adjustment model to describe lactation curves
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 September 2010
Abstract
Dhanoa and Le Du (Animal Production 1982, 34: 243–247) proposed a model in which the milk yield in a particular week is described by a weighted average of a straight-line target yield and the yield in the preceding week. It is demonstrated that the weight parameter × in this model is partially determined by the time from calving to peak yield and hence does not represent correlation between successive yields satisfactorily.
