Activities
The objective of the working group is to write a
portfolio of recommendation sheets on recording,
evaluation and genetic improvement for functional
traits in dairy cattle. Recommendation sheets will
be written for seven functional trait groups:
• udder health
• female and male fertility
• calving ease and stillbirth
• feet and legs problems
• workability
• longevity
• metabolic stress and feed efficiency
The udder health have been
finalised and are now available on the ICAR
Guidelines.
