Genetic selection for reduced health treatment costs in Holstein cows: implications from a long-term study

The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters of health treatment cost of Holstein cows from producer-recorded health treatments in 8 herds over an 8-yr period of time. Genetic parameters of health treatment cost were estimated in first (n = 2,214), second (n = 1,487) and third (n =...
