Prediction of genetic merit for live weight and body condition score in dairy cows using routinely available linear type and carcass data.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Jun 2021

Berry D P, Evans R D, Kelleher M M

Abstract excerpt

Accurate estimates of genetic merit for both live weight and body condition score (BCS) could be useful additions to both national- and herd-breeding programs. Although recording live weight and BCS is not technologically arduous, data available for use in routine genetic evaluations are generally lacking. The objective of the present study was to explore the usefulness of routinely recorded data, namely linear...
