Genetic parameters for conception rate and milk production traits within and across Holstein herds with different housing types and feeding systems during the first 3 lactations.

Abstract excerpt

The housing types (HST) in which dairy cows are kept and the feeding systems (FDS) used differ among farmers in Japan. Here, we investigated the genetic relationships among conception rate at first insemination (CR) and milk production traits (PROD) during the first 3 lactations of Holstein cows by using a multiple-trait model that considered the trait values of herds with different HST [tiestall (TSL) barn,...
