Selection for economic efficiency of dairy cattle using information on live weight and feed intake: A review
TL;DR: Although there appears to be great potential to improve economic efficiency by selecting for feed intake and live weight or by possible indicator traits, there is still uncertainty about some of the genetic parameters, especially among traits related to health, reproduction, and energy balance.
GENETICS AND BREEDING Genetic Correlation Between Days Until Start of Luteal Activity and Milk Yield, Energy Balance, and Live Weights
TL;DR: Estimating genetic correlations among fertility and measures of energy balance, dry matter intake, and live weight (change) supports that increasing genetic merit for feed intake, at a common Genetic merit for yield, improved CLA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of multi-trait genomic selection using different methods
TL;DR: Three models that would permit multi-trait genomic selection by combining scarcely recorded traits with genetically correlated indicator traits are developed and compared, and their performance to single-traits models is compared, using simulated datasets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for cattle stature identifies common genes that regulate body size in mammals.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of data from cattle shows that the genetic architecture underlying stature is similar to that in humans, where many genomic regions individually explain only a small amount of phenotypic variance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic correlation between days until start of luteal activity and milk yield, energy balance, and live weights.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate genetic correlations among fertility and measures of energy balance, dry matter intake, and live weight (change) among 622 first lactation cows (fed ad libitum a complete ration) for the first 15 wk of lactation.
