Abstract excerpt
Three alternative cost ratios and the ratio of annual fixed cost for cows to net replacement cost for three populations that differed in genetic (co)variances were investigated. We studied their effect on the value of longevity records to supplement production records to achieve genetic gains for reducing the nonfeed cost of producing a unit of milk. Data files were constructed from stochastically generated...
