Predicting dry matter intake in mid-lactation Holstein cows using point-in-time data streams available on dairy farms

ABSTRACT: Quantifying dry matter intake (DMI) in lactating dairy cows is important for determining feed efficiency; however, there are no methods for economically quantifying individual cow DMI on dairy farms where cows are group-fed. Attempts have been made to model DMI using cow factors, milk prod...
