The correlation coefficients with the predicted milk values of REG_1 or REG_2 from 306 to 320 DIM were highest (from 0.853 to 0.792), and the values gradually declined with increasing DIM. However, strong correlations (greater than 0.7) were maintained until 440 DIM in the first and later lactations and until 395 DIM in later lactations.
Moderate to strong correlations emerged between the RR coefficients for AG effect or between the intercept for the PE effect from 305 to 450 DIM and the intercepts for AG effect within the first 305 DIM; the mean and slopes of the individual lactation curves after 305 DIM depended on the mean of the lactation curve for the AG effect within the first 305 DIM. The [R.sup.2] for multiple regression of the RR coefficients after 305 DIM on those within the first 305 DIM were moderate to high when the intercepts after 305 DIM were the objective variables.
