Moving towards sustainable breeding objectives and cow welfare in dairy production: a South African perspective.

Tropical animal health and production - 21 Sept 2021

Erasmus Lize-Mari, van Marle-Köster E

Abstract excerpt

Genetic advancements have resulted in improved dairy production over many decades, due to the focus of breeding objectives on production as the driving force for genetic progress and overall farm profitability. Major advancements were made in the easy-to-measure traits with moderate to high heritability, which resulted in unintended consequences on herd fertility, health, and welfare of cows. In addition, climate...
