Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the relationship between lactation milk yield, (LMY), somatic cell count (SCC), and udder traits using some statistical techniques, viz. multiple linear regression, stepwise regression, use of factor analysis in multiple regression, and regression tree. Forty six Turkish Saanen Goats were used in the present investigations. These goats were milked with milking machine twice a day. The traits recorded were: daily milk yield (DMY), udder upper height (UUH), udder width (UW), udder length (UL), udder diameter (UD), teat angle (TA), udder volume (UV), somatic cell count (SCC), lactation length (LL), and lactation milk yield (LMY), Respectively. In the multiple linear regression analysis, significant effects of and LT (P 500 among all the goats (Node 2) had the highest LMY (297.357 lt) or Node 4 as a group of the goats with LL > 191 days among the goats with TA
