Extract

All Cows. It is proposed, in dealing with this question, to follow the same lines as in the previous Part—namely, to describe the effect as found from all the Norfolk records (comparing the results, where possible, with those found in the case of Penrith) and then to treat the various breeds, and high and low yielders separately, in order to bring out any peculiarities that may exist as regards those groups.

It has already been seen that, as would be expected, the length of the S.P. very largely influences the length of the lactation, and it would seem probable on the face of it, that as pregnancy progresses the milk flow declines; this latter is dealt with in Section B of this Part, but we are here concerned with the total effect of both of these on the yield of milk in the lactation.
