Comparison of the mid-infrared spectra and prediction equations developed from morning and evening milk samples from twice-a-day milked dairy cows by M. Frizzarin, E. Hayes, A. Casa, D.P. Berry

“…ABSTRACT: Mid-infrared spectroscopy is a technology used globally for quantifying the concentration of fat, protein, lactose, and other constituents in the milk samples of both individual animals and bulk tank milk. Differences in the milk components and yield of cows are known to exist between morning and evening milk; nonetheless, differences in the spectra originating from the same cow from morning and evening milkings have never been investigated. …”
