- Early lactation milking affects season’s production
This research determined immediate and long-term responses – such as milk production, energy status, body condition score – of grazing cows milked once-daily or thrice-daily for a short duration (i.e. three or six weeks) at the start of lactation. - Once-daily milking during a feed shortage in early lactation
DairyNZ has determined the impact of milking cows once-daily during a short-term pasture shortage in early lactation on milksolids production, body condition score and energy status. - Supplements and thrice-daily milking during extended lactations
A DairyNZ experiment aimed to determine if a short period (nine weeks) of thrice-daily milking and concentrate supplementation, either alone or in combination, increases milksolids production during an extended lactation. - Recently published by DairyNZ
