Inaugural Session
Dairy cattle selection programs aim to improve the profitability and sustainability of the dairy industry, either by targeting traits that increase revenues or traits that reduce expenses. These breeding objectives are typically addressed using selection indices, in which relevant traits are combined and weighted according to their economic importance Genetic selection is a very powerful tool for achieving lasting gains in dairy cattle performance. Contrary to improvements in nutrition, management or cow comfort, changes achieved through selection are incremental, cumulative, and permanent, which makes genetic improvement a very cost-effective strategy
