GEA sees new potential in dairy breeding as CattleEye data supports genetic approaches to lameness
GEA sees new potential in dairy breeding as CattleEye data supports genetic approaches to lameness New research from the CDCB and the University of Minnesota shows lameness is heritable, opening the door to breeding strategies that could reduce its impact. ROMEOVILLE, Ill. [Feb. 3, 2026] – A joint research project by the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding […]

Importance of Genetic Selection in Dairy
Importance of Genetic Selection in Dairy Cattle Genetic selection and genomic testing in dairy cattle has greatly improved the milk production in cows, along with improved health, fertility, calving ease and other important traits. Genomics involves collecting DNA samples from animals to identify desirable traits and predict the animals’ genetic potential, which can help producers […]

A Review of AI Protocols
A Review of AI Protocols, Synchronization and Best Practices Of all the innovations that have helped shape the landscape of dairy farming into what it is today, artificial insemination (AI) is arguably among the single most influential vehicles to accelerate genetic progress. As one of the earliest animal industries to embrace this breeding mechanism, dairy […]
