  6. 4. Genetic variation of in-line recorded milkability traits and associations with udder conformation and health in Swedish dairy cattle

    Author : Caroline Carlström; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []

    Abstract : Slow-milking cows lead to less efficient use of automatic milking systems (AMS) or may hold up the milking process when many cows are milked together in conventional milking parlours (CMP). Traditionally, genetic evaluations for milkability have been based on subjective observations, where the herdsmen have scored the animals once on a scale from slow to fast milking. READ MORE
