Abstract:The influence of the calving season on milk production was determined to be 0.9% for 305 days of lactation on average across all farms. In loose-housing, the influence of the season was smaller (0.4%) compared to stall housing (1.6-5.5%). Seasonal differences in the milk output of first calving cows for stall housing was equal to 437-816 kg, and for loose-housing 192-283 kg (р<0.05). In some farms animals of autumn and winter calving were distinguished by the best milk output, while in other farms spring-wi… Show more
