En este artículo recién sacado del horno evaluamos el potencial de la microbiota oral para predecir el nivel de ingesta de las vacas. El nivel de ingesta es crucial en la rentabilidad y sostenibilidad de las granjas y es difícil de medir. - journalofdairyscience.org/article/S0022-…

The number of genotyped crossbred animals is rising. But can we include genotypes of crossbred dairy cows in a multibreed single-step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) model? Learn more from a @UGA_CollegeofAg and @USDA_ARS team in the latest #JDSCommunications (doi.org/10.3168/jdsc.2…).
