Fig. 1.

Effect of year of calving on age at first calving (AFC, solid lines; y = 6.6048x + 415.47; R² =0.39 ) and calving interval (CI, dashed lines, y = 63.451x + 827.42; R² = 0.73) in dairy cattle.

Fig. 2.

Effect of parity on 305 days milk yield (solid squares; y = 1.9164x + 2547.5; R² = 0.01) and lactation length (solid circles; y = 3.5023x + 254.57; R² = 0.48) in dairy cattle.

Changes in 305 days milk yield with the increasing parities in crossbred dairy cows (y = -6.340x2 + 58.97x + 2452, R² = 0.49)
