Milking characteristics during peak yield in two consecutive lactations (seasons 2000 and 2001, experiment one); daily milk production and composition, somatic cell count, live weight and body condition score during a complete lactation (2000 season, experiment two); and metabolisable energy intake and feed conversion efficiency during peak lactation (1999 season, experiment three) were studied in three experiments with grazing Holstein-Friesian cows from two selection lines, which differed g...
