Estimating milk production and energy-use efficiency of pasture-grazed Holstein and Jersey cows using mathematical models

The efficiency of feed use for milk production is critical for sustainable and profitable pasture-based dairy systems. The aim of this study was to estimate milk production and energy-use efficiencies of pasture-grazed Holstein and Jersey cows. Lactation records of 122 Holstein and 99 Jersey cows va...
