Estimating test-day milk yields by modeling proportional daily yields: Going beyond linearity

ABSTRACT: In the United States, lactation milk yields are not measured directly but are calculated from the test-day milk yields. Still, test-day milk yields are estimated from partial yields obtained from single milkings. Various methods have been proposed to estimate test-day milk yields, primaril...
