Performance of grazing dairy cows genetically divergent in genetic merit for feed intake.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Mar 2026

Williams M, O'Donovan M, Horan B, Berry D P

Abstract excerpt

Genetic evaluations are the cornerstone of modern dairy breeding programs, facilitating selection for traits of economic and environmental importance. The utility of any genetic evaluation is dependent on its ability to predict phenotypic performance in an independent population. This is of particular importance for traits that are not routinely measured on commercial farms, such as feed intake and efficiency....
