Potential gains in lifetime net merit from genomic testing of cows, heifers, and calves on commercial dairy farms.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Apr 2012

Weigel K A, Hoffman P C, Herring W, Lawlor T J

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to quantify the gains in genetic potential of replacement females that could be achieved by using genomic testing to facilitate selection and culling decisions on commercial dairy farms. Data were simulated for 100 commercial dairy herds, each with 1,850 cows, heifers, and calves. Parameters of the simulation were based on the US Holstein population, and assumed reliabilities of...
