Genetic Selection in Dairy Cattle – A Double-Edged Sword by Dr. D.A. Moore
Think about the progress that has been made using AI in dairy cattle. Milk production per cow per year has increased from 9,700 lbs in 1970 to over 22,000 lbs. We have improved milk and milk component yield, used ‘low somatic cell count’ bulls, shifted foot and leg conformation and improved the udder. But as production has increased, fertility has declined, overall, in dairy cattle. Is there a genetic component?
