Lactation – curve standards (LCS): When predictingmilk yield for cows for which the volume of data is lessthan or equal to the number of the estimable parametersof the model to be able to estimate the lactation curvetrajectory reliably, LCS was used. The LCS wasdeveloped only from data of completed 305-d normallyshaped lactations (n = 420,990)
