(American Dairy Science Association, 2004-05-01)
Local breeding schemes for Holstein cattle of Costa
Rica were compared with the current practice based
on continuous semen importation (SI) by deterministic

Modeling extended lactations of dairy cows
(American Dairy Science Association, 2000-06)
Nine mathematical models were compared for their
ability to predict daily milk yields (n = 294,986) in stan-
dard 305-d and extended lactations of dairy cows of
Costa Rica. Lactations were classified by parity ...
