Abstract excerpt

In this study, we aimed to estimate and compare the genetic parameters of dry matter intake (DMI), energy-corrected milk (ECM), and body weight (BW) as 3 feed efficiency-related traits across lactation in 3 dairy cattle breeds (Holstein, Nordic Red, and Jersey). The analyses were based on weekly records of DMI, ECM, and BW per cow across lactation for 842 primiparous Holstein cows, 746 primiparous Nordic Red...
