Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic profiles for body weight, body condition score, energy intake, and energy balance across different parities and concentrate feeding levels
TL;DR: No significant difference in height of the EB profile existed between the cows on the low and high feeding level indicating that the duration and extent of NEB was not influenced by the concentrate feeding levels adopted in this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic parameters for EUROP carcass traits within different groups of cattle in Ireland
TL;DR: Testing of systems of weighing and classifying bovine carcasses used in commercial abattoirs in Ireland to provide information that can be used for the purposes of genetic evaluation of carcass weight, carcass fatness class, and carcass conformation class found genetic and phenotypic variances differed by breed of sire to be positive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inbreeding depression due to recent and ancient inbreeding in Dutch Holstein–Friesian dairy cattle
TL;DR: Investigation of effects of recent and ancient inbreeding on yield, fertility and udder health traits in Dutch Holstein–Friesian cows found inbreeding depression was observed and there was evidence of purging for yield traits and based on pedigree.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic and pedigree-based genetic parameters for scarcely recorded traits when some animals are genotyped
TL;DR: Genetic parameters were estimated using relationships between animals that were based either on pedigree, 43,011 single nucleotide polymorphisms, or a combination of these, considering genotyped and non-genotyped animals, and a parametric bootstrapping procedure was used to investigate sampling properties of the estimated variance components.
