Including lameness and mastitis in a profit index for dairy cattle

2005-02-01

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this work was to establish economic values (EVs) of mastitis and lameness in order to enhance the current UK dairy profit index by including these health traits. The EVs of traits currently in dairy profit index were also re-evaluated to account for changes in costs/returns over time and to determine their sensitivity to changes in some of the basic assumptions used in their derivation. Predicted...
