Analysis of the Composition of Milk in the first Three Lactations in Ayrshire Cattle Across Four Decades

Using historic lactation records for Ayrshire cattle, we report a gradual increase in the production of milk, butter fat and protein levels across four decades.

However these increases were achieved without significantly affecting the percentage of butter fat or protein throughout the time examined, and also without changing the heifer: second lactation ratios
