Transhumance of dairy cows to highland summer pastures interacts with breed to influence body condition, milk yield and quality

This paper aimed at testing the differences of adaptability of bovine dairy, dual purpose and local breeds during the summer transhumance to highland pastures (summer farms), evaluating temporal variations of body condition and of milk yield and quality. Data were from 799 dairy cows of specialised...
