Analysis of lactating cows in commercial Austrian dairy farms: diet composition, and influence of genotype, parity and stage of lactation on nutrient intake, body weight and body condition score
This study characterises diets used on-farm and examines nutrient and feed intake (DMI) together with other animal specific traits (body weight, milk yield, body condition score). Data came from the project ‘Efficient Cow’ to develop efficiency traits for Austrian cattle breeding (161 farms, 6105 co...
