Abstract

Age factors for placing cumulative and noncumulative part-lactation yields on a mature-equivalent part-lactation basis were constructed from 39,328 lactations representing 27,538 Iowa Holstein cows. Variation in the age-production curves associated with season, test day, and yield trait (milk or fat) was investigated.
