1. Relationships Between First Test Day Metrics of First Lactation Cows to Evaluate Transition PeriodThe objective of this study was to apply principal component analysis (PCA) and multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) on Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) data of animals on their first lactation to discover the most meaningful set of variables that describe the outcome on the first test day. Data collected over 4 years were obtained from 13 dairy herds located in Québec – Canada. The data set was filtered to contain only information from first test day of animals on their first lactation,... G.M. Dallago, D. Figueiredo, R. Santos, P. Andrade, D.E. Santschi, R. Lacroix, D.M.

2. Predicting, Mapping, and Understanding the Drivers of Grain Protein Content Variability – Utilising John Deere’s New Harvestlab 3000 Grain Sensing SystemGrain protein content (GPC) is a key determinant of the prices that grain growers receive, and the rising cost of production is shifting management focus towards optimising this to maximise return on investment. In 2023, John Deere released the HarvestLab 3000TM Grain Sensing system in Australia for real-time, on-the-go measurement of protein, starch, and oil values for wheat, barley, and canola. However, while the uptake of these sensors is increasing, GPC maps are not available for... M.J. Tilse, P. Filippi, T. Bishop |
