Heat production (HP) represents a major energy cost in lactating dairy cows. Better understanding of factors that affect HP will improve our understanding of energy metabolism. Our objective was to derive models to explain variation in HP of lactating Jersey cows. Individual animal-period data from 9 studies (n = 293) were used. The data set included cows with a wide range (min to max) in days in milk (44-41 and milk yield (7.8-43.0 kg/d). Diets included corn silage as the predominate forage source, but diets varied (min to max on
