From: Strategic test-day recording regimes to estimate lactation yield in tropical dairy animals
Distributions of recommended sampling protocols with four TD per lactation. These plots show distributions of the sampling protocols for the TDSR with four TD per lactation and have over 80 of their top 100 ranked animals in common with the ‘true’ EBV ranks; plot (a) shows the distributions for the average peak high persistency simulations and (b) shows those for the high peak, low persistence simulations; the values in brackets on the plots for each of the four TD show the range of the middle 25% of DIM for each distribution.
