Dairy Global 2: The carbon neutrality race is on!

Dairy production data suggest that it is more effective to select for heat tolerance within a high milk-producing breed than it would be to select for high milk production traits within a breed that is highly adapted to hot climates. Photo: Canva

Genetics of heat tolerance in dairy cattle

Cows fed the betaine diet produced numerically the same amount of milk as those fed the control diet during the pre-challenge period but produced on average 0.07 to 0.05 kg milk solids/cow per day more during the heat challenge and recovery periods. Photo: Marten Sandburg
