Potential genetic gain in dairy production of Holstein Friesian cattle applying a selection index por Chagunda, Mizeck G.G., Wollny, C.B.A., Bruns, E.W.

“…Adding age at first calving in the selection criteria resulted in very minimal increases. The optimal breeding strategy for the aggregate genotype which aims at improving milk yield and calving interval, is one whose selection criteria is based on milk yield and calving interval obtained from daughters performing in Malawi.…”
