Research Note Full Title
Genotype by system interactions for health and welfare related traits in dairy cattle
Opens in new window
The project will investigate the time-oriented genetic relationships between health, fertility and production in concentrate-based and grass-based production systems over three lactations. From this study it will be possible to define characteristics of cows at Crichton Royal Farm that may reflect the environment, and to attempt grouping of farms by 'environment class' using national data
Objectives
