Bayesian analysis of random regression models to model test-day somatic cell score of primiparous Holstein cattle in Iran

Several functions (Ali-Schaeffer curve, Legendre polynomials, and the combination of Legendre polynomial and the Wilmink function) were used to adjust the lactation curve of somatic cell score (SCS) of primiparous Holstein cows in Iran. Data included 204,374 test-day records collected on 29,215 anim...
