Abstract excerpt

Improving feed efficiency in dairy cattle by animal breeding has started in the Nordic countries. One of the two traits included in the applied Saved feed index is called maintenance and it is based on the breeding values for metabolic BW (MBW). However, BW recording based on heart girth measurements is decreasing and recording based on scales is increasing only slowly, which may weaken the maintenance index in...
