Development of resilience indicator traits based on daily step count data for dairy cattle breeding

Abstract Background Resilient animals are minimally affected by disturbances, such as diseases and heat stress, and quickly recover. Daily activity data can potentially indicate resilience, because resilient animals likely keep variations due to disturbances that threat animal homeostasis at a low m...
