A meta-analysis of the impact of stocking rate on the productivity of pasture-based milk production systems (2010, background): “This increase in productivity has been reported previously and is a consequence of increased emphasis of selection for milk production, including fat and protein yield, as milk yield has been the main objective criterion for selection in most temperate countries (Miglior et al., 2005; Dillon et al.,”
A review of the causes of poor fertility in high milk producing dairy cows (2010, positive): “as shifted from predominantly production to functional onproduction traits associated with improved health and ertility (Miglior et al., 2005).”
Invited review: Body condition score and its association with dairy cow productivity, health, and welfare. (2009, background): “For many years, the main focus in the selection of dairy cows has been on milk production traits (Miglior et al., 2005).”
