DOI : 10.9775/kvfd.2022.28672 Aim of this work was to study effectiveness of prediction of cows" milk productivity (yield, fat and protein content) using artificial neural network (ANN) technology for data sets with missing values. Four variants of data sets, which consist of different numbers of monthly test-day milk records (MTDMRs) were chosen. Calculated milk productivity using Test Interval Method (TIM) was chosen as control value. Obtained results showed that milk productivity can be predicted using ANN even if missing data occurs. Rank correlation coefficients between control and predicted results were 0.918, 0.949, and 0.852 for milk yield, protein, and fat content, respectively Keywords : Artificial Neural Networks, Dairy Productivity Prediction
