Breeding method for improving the performance of Dairy cows

摘要

p The present invention offers a way to evaluate the generative rite of animals in relation to three diseases of the transition period: mastitis, metritis and ketosis, which have a disproportionate impact on the health of the cow in its transition period. The resulting evaluations of these traits can be combined in a genetic index that serves to select animals that are genetically superior. While evaluations of some of these traits are available,other genetic indexes focused on the health of the transition period that take them into account are not available.nbsp; /p
