Artificial selection and maintenance of genetic variance in the global dairy cow population.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 29 Jul 2005

Brotherstone S, Goddard M

Abstract excerpt

Genetic improvement of dairy cows, which has increased the milk yield of cows in the UK by 1200 kg per lactation in 12 years, is an excellent example of the application of quantitative genetics to agriculture. The most important traits of dairy cattle are expressed only in females, but the main opportunity for selection is in males. Despite this, genetic improvement was achieved by the invention of a new...
