Phenotypic associations between gestation length and production, fertility, survival, and calf traits.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Jan 2016

Jenkins G M, Amer P, Stachowicz K, Meier S

Abstract excerpt

Gestation length may be a useful selection criterion in the genetic evaluation of fertility for New Zealand's predominantly seasonally calving dairy herd. However, it is unknown if calves born following shorter gestation lengths have lower survival or are compromised in their subsequent performance as a milking cow. In this study, data from a large number (~38,000) of cows were first analyzed to determine if...
