Project Details
Description
We will work with Holstein cows from representative genetic lines and typical feeding systems to investigate relationships between milk production, efficiency and the ability to withstand the effects of climate change on feed supply and composition. We will develop new measures of feed variability, describe it for typical feeding systems and investigate effects on milk production and cow health. This will be done with diets designed to reduce C footprints. Our aim is to develop optimal breeding and management strategies for climate smart production, climate resilience and enhanced biodiversity.
