Genetic correlations between energy status indicator traits and female fertility in primiparous Nordic Red Dairy cattle

Genetic correlations between energy status indicator traits and female fertility in primiparous Nordic Red Dairy cattle

Inclusion of feed efficiency traits into the dairy cattle breeding programmes will require considering early lactation energy status to avoid deterioration in health and fertility of dairy cows. In this regard, energy status indicator (ESI) traits, for example, blood metabolites or milk fatty acids...
