Trait development and genetic parameters of resilience indicators based on variability in milk consumption recorded by automated milk feeders in North American Holstein calves

Trait development and genetic parameters of resilience indicators based on variability in milk consumption recorded by automated milk feeders in North American Holstein calves

ABSTRACT: The implementation of automated milk feeders (AMF) on precision dairy farms has enabled efficient management of large numbers of group-housed replacement calves with reduced labor requirements and improved calf welfare. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of deriving calf resili...
