Paper Summary

A study looked at how to improve Chilean dairy cattle breeding. They compared two methods: one using offspring testing and one using genetic testing. The genetic testing method showed faster progress in milk, fat, and protein production. This means using genetic testing could be a better option for improving dairy cattle in Chile.
