Invited review: Phenotyping strategies and genetic background of dairy cattle behavior in intensive production systems-From trait definition to genomic selection.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding and assessing dairy cattle behavior is critical for developing sustainable breeding programs and management practices. The behavior of individual animals can provide valuable information on their health and welfare status, improve reproductive management, and predict efficiency traits such as feed efficiency and milking efficiency. Routine genetic evaluations of animal behavior traits can contribute...
