Mobility scoring data can be used to estimate the prevalence, incidence, and duration of lameness in dairy herds. Mobility scoring is often performed infrequently with variable sensitivity, but how this impacts the estimation of lameness parameters i...

Quantification of the effect of in utero events on lifetime resilience in dairy cows (2024)
Journal Article
Lewis, K., Shewbridge Carter, L., Bradley, A., Dewhurst, R., Forde, N., Hyde, R., …Green, M. (2024). Quantification of the effect of in utero events on lifetime resilience in dairy cows. Journal of Dairy Science, 107(7), 4616-4633. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2023-24215

Currently, the dairy industry is facing many challenges that could affect its sustainability, including climate change and public perception of the industry. As a result, interest is increasing in the concept of identifying resilient animals, those w... Read More about Quantification of the effect of in utero events on lifetime resilience in dairy cows.
