The annual genetic trend for milk yield of Holsteins in the United States has accelerated with
time and had means of 37kg during the 1960s, 79kg during the 1970s, 102kg during the …

Impaired abomasal motility and an increased accumulation of gas are prerequisites for
displacement of the abomasum in the cow. Predisposing factors are the breed (eg Holstein …

The aim of this study was to explore the impact of type traits on the functional survival of
Canadian Holstein cows using a Weibull proportional hazards model. The data set …

Literature on the subject of character, history, occurrence, causes and pathogenesis of
abomasal displacement in the bovine is listed and summarized. The chapter on occurrence …

The main objective of this study was to estimate genetic trends for 3.7% FCM, fat yield, days
open, and predicted body weight after calving in six experimental dairy herds owned by the …

Holstein cows were compared for direct and correlated responses to selection for large
versus small body size. The divergent selection lines differed for body weight, body …

A selection experiment began during 1964 to measure long-term responses to selection of
dairy cattle based only on milk yield. An unselected control group of cows was maintained …

This report categorises European dairy farming according to internationally used
classifications of farming systems. Human and exogenous institutional factors are also …

Simple Summary Health treatments of Holsteins were recorded over a 7-year period and
partitioned into five categories (mastitis, reproduction, lameness, metabolic, and …

The aim of this study was to use a Weibull proportional hazards model to explore the impact
of type traits on the functional survival of Canadian Jersey and Ayrshire cows. The data set …
