Source material

The raw data are contained in CS6Data1 with cow already defined as a factor. Three additional files have been created for use during the analysis. CS6Data2 is used for calculating the average relationship between milk yield and day of lactation during longitudinal monitoring. CS6Data3 is used for calculating associations between average milk yields and average level of concentrates fed over successive 7-week periods of lactation.

CS6Data4 contains milk yield data for each of the baseline, longitudinal monitoring and post- monitoring studies, and is used for comparing associations between milk yield and day of lactation across the three years.

Details of the contents of these files are stored in CS6Doc1, CS6Doc2, CS6Doc3 and CS6Doc4, respectively.
