Provolo & SangiorgiFigure 7. Cow <strong>no</strong>. 35a) Daily milk yield data recorded from scales and milkmetersb) Error in the estimated montly yield (in %) both for scale and milkmeters byusing increasing number of data (daily basis), taken at regular interval.If a greater number of daily data are used it is possible to reduce theirerrors (less than 1 % for 10 monthly data or more) by taking into accountfigures provided both by the scales and milkmeters.Considering the estimate related to each individual cow characterised bydifferent production levels and physiological conditions we can observe:• from figure 6 that cow n° 30 shows an increase in milk production duringthe month. With just 4 - 5 daily data it is possible to keep the errorbelow 2.5 %;• from figure 7 that with cow n° 35, 8 daily data are necessary to keep theerror below 2.5 %;• from figure 8 that with cow n° 37, characterised by an even productioncurve, also with only one datum is sufficient;<strong>ICAR</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Series</strong> - No 7271
