Genetic and phenotypic correlations among feed efficiency, production and selected conformation traits in dairy cows.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 Mar 2016

Abstract excerpt

The difficulties and costs of measuring individual feed intake in dairy cattle are the primary factors limiting the genetic study of feed intake and utilisation, and hence the potential of their subsequent industry-wide applications. However, indirect selection based on heritable, easily measurable, and genetically correlated traits, such as conformation traits, may be an alternative approach to improve feed...
