Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to estimate genetic parameters of the linear trait genetic residual feed intake (RFI) and the ratio traits feed conversion ratio (FCR) and feed conversion efficiency (FCE) along with dry matter intake (DMI) and energy sink traits such as energy-corrected milk (ECM), body weight (BW), body condition score (BCS), and BW change (BWC) across different weeks in the first lactation of Danish Holstein...
