Defining a nitrogen efficiency index in Holstein cows and assessing its potential effect on the breeding program of bulls

ABSTRACT: The purposes of this study were (1) to explore the relationship between 3 milk mid-infrared predicted features including nitrogen intake (NINT), milk true protein N (MTPN), and milk urea-N yield (MUNY); (2) to integrate these 3 features into an N efficiency index (NEI) and analyses approxi...
