The 3 models tested in this study produced daily
herd milk-production predictions for 4 different piecewise
moving horizons using limited amounts of data
(R2
values from 0.936 to 0.968 for the NARX model,
0.889 to 0.911 for the SANN model, and 0.917 to 0.916
for the MLR model). The NARX was shown to be the
most effective milk-production model. It was more
accurate than the SANN and MLR for each moving
