Estimation of the Economic Impact of a Unit Change in Predicted Transmitting Ability for Daughter Pregnancy Rate and Other Predicted Transmitting Ability in the Merit Indexes

These studies deal with lifetime profit analyses for individual cows, and using these estimates to determine the economic value of genetic changes in traits for which genetic evaluations (predicted transmitting ability, PTA) are currently available. Data were collected from six states processed by D...
