Five lactation curve models were compared for their fitness to milk data of indigenous and crossbred cows using data from Bako Agricultural Research Center and Debre Zeit Research Station. The fit of the models was compared using the model R2 value. The overall mean R2 value was 81.5 ± 0.12% and ...
