High-throughput phenotyping technologies are growing in importance in livestock systems due to their ability to generate real-time, non-invasive, and accurate animal-level …
Metabolic disorders in early lactation have negative effects on dairy cow health and farm profitability. One method for monitoring the metabolic status of cows is metabolic profiling …
In dairy production, high fertility contributes to herd profitability by achieving greater production and maintaining short calving intervals. Improved management practices and …
Background Fourier-transform mid-infrared (FT-MIR) spectroscopy provides a high- throughput and inexpensive method for predicting milk composition and other novel traits …
Abstract Knowledge of animal-level and herd-level energy intake, energy balance, and feed efficiency affect day-to-day herd management strategies; information on these traits at an …
Information on dry matter intake (DMI) and energy balance (EB) at the animal and herd level is important for management and breeding decisions. However, routine recording of these …
