To maximize milk production, efficiency, and profits, modern dairy cows are genetically
selected and bred to produce more and more milk and are fed copious quantities of high …

ABSTRACT The Resilient Dairy Genome Project (RDGP) is an international large-scale
applied research project that aims to generate genomic tools to breed more resilient dairy …

Lactation persistency and milk production are among the most economically important traits
in the dairy industry. In this study, we explored the association of over 6.1 million imputed …

To evaluate the effects of heat stress (HS) conditions and dietary organic acid and pure
botanical (OA/PB) supplementation on gut permeability and milk production, we enrolled 46 …

The use of assisted-reproduction technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) is
increasing, particularly in dairy cattle. The question of consequences in later life has not yet …

The dairy industry plays a significant role in the global food system, providing essential
nutrients for human consumption and creating rural employment. A small-scale dairy can …

Multiparous dams have been reported to produce offspring with greater fertility and higher
AMH concentration, as a marker of ovarian reserves, as compared with nulliparous and …

Considering the increasing challenges imposed by climate change and the need to improve
animal welfare, breeding more resilient animals capable of better coping with environmental …

Background Genetic progress for fertility and reproduction traits in dairy cattle has been
limited due to the low heritability of most indicator traits. Moreover, most of the quantitative …

• Genetic selection can be used to alter the shape of the lactation curve, manufacturing
properties of milk, and composition associated with human health.• Mid-infrared spectral …
