Abstract excerpt
Calf health is becoming an increasingly important consideration for genetic selection in modern dairy cattle. However, the impact of calf diseases on other economically important traits and the genetic architecture underlying these traits remain poorly understood. This study aimed to (1) determine the impact of including calf disease traits into Canadian national genetic evaluation by estimating genetic and...
