Figure 1. Least square means ± SE of BCS in multiparous Holstein dairy cow. MM: medium BCS and moderate milk yield; MH: medium BCS and high milk yield; HM: high BCS and moderate milk yield; HH: high BCS and high milk yield. Statistically significant (p < .05) effects between the two groups of BCS (medium and high) during before calving (BCS; time); after calving (BCS; time; BCS × time); the entire study (BCS; time; BCS × time).
