Abstract

In this study, the equations used in modeling the individual lactation curves of Anatolian Water Buffalo were comparatively examined and the most suitable model or models were tried to be determined. For this purpose, individuals with 8, 9 and 10 lactation records were selected among 8057 Anatolian Water Buffalo and a total of 1591 individual lactation curves were modeled. Guo-Salve, Grossman, Cappio-Borlino, Parabolic Exponential, Cobby and Le Du, Logarithmic Quadratic, Wilmink, Logarithmic Linear, Quadratic, Inverse Polynomial and Wood equations were used in the study. When comparing the models, coefficient of determination, mean squared error, Durbin-Watson autocorrelation test, the Akaike Information Criterion were considered. Among the models used in the study, the Cobby and Le Du, Wood and Logarithmic Quadratic models gave the best results, as opposed to the Guo-Salve model.
