The effect of cow genotype on energy partitioning between milk and body tissue
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2017
Extract
In an extensive review of energy metabolism of dairy cows, Agnew and Yan (2000) concluded that high genetic merit cows are capable of partitioning more energy into milk and less into body tissue when compared to low genetic merit cows. The objective of the present study was to use production data for a complete lactation to evaluate the effect of cow genotype on energy partitioning between milk and body tissue.
