Abstract excerpt

Automated milk feeders (AMF) generate large-scale longitudinal milk feeding data in calves, providing a great opportunity for deriving the novel traits that may be included in cattle breeding programs. For group-housed dairy calves, genetic selection for social dominance could have important implications on improving animal welfare and health, optimizing management practices, and possibly improving cow...
