Genomic prediction of disease occurrence using producer-recorded health data: a comparison of methods
GENETICS SELECTION EVOLUTION, 47(1).
Contributors: K. Parker Gaddis n, F. Tiezzi n, J. Cole *, J. Clay * & C. Maltecca n
MeSH headings : Animals; Bayes Theorem; Breeding / methods; Cattle; Dairying; Female; Genomics / methods; Mastitis, Bovine / epidemiology; Mastitis, Bovine / genetics; Selection, Genetic
TL;DR:
Investigation of the predictive ability of two-stage and single-step genomic selection methods applied to health data collected from on-farm computer systems in the U.S. found single-step methods have several advantages compared to two-step methods; however, the latter led to the smallest number of wrong predictions.

Contributors: M. Penasa *, F. Tiezzi n, P. Gottardo*, M. Cassandro * & M. De Marchi *
author keywords: Milk fatty acid; Holstein; Heritability; Genetic correlation
TL;DR:
The study highlighted the existence of exploitable additive genetic variation for groups of FA routinely predicted by MIRS and thus there is potential to address the selection to healthy milk FA composition.

MeSH headings : Animals; Cattle; Dairying; Female; Fertility / genetics; Genetic Testing; Insemination, Artificial / veterinary; Male; Parity; Pregnancy; Seasons; Semen
TL;DR:
The low estimates obtained in the present study indicate that selection for male fertility using field data is hardly pursuable and heritability and repeatability of dairy bull fertility in Italian Brown Swiss cattle are low.

JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE, 96(10), 6730–6741.
Contributors: F. Tiezzi n, C. Maltecca n , A. Cecchinato *, M. Penasa * & G. Bittante *
author keywords: body condition score; fertility; thin and fat cow; genetic parameter

TL;DR:
Body condition score can be considered a predictor of fertility, and it could be included in evaluation either as linear measure or as thin cow, and the genetic relationship with fertility was stronger, exacerbating the poorest body condition and considering the possible nonlinearity between fertility and energy reserves of the cow.

Genetic parameters for fertility of dairy heifers and cows at different parities and relationships with production traits in first lactation
Journal of Dairy Science, 95(12), 7355–7362.
Contributors: F. Tiezzi *, C. Maltecca n , A. Cecchinato *, M. Penasa * & G. Bittante *

MeSH headings : Animals; Cattle / genetics; Cattle / physiology; Female; Fertility / genetics; Fertility / physiology; Lactation / genetics; Lactation / physiology; Models, Genetic; Parity; Pregnancy; Quantitative Trait, Heritable
TL;DR:
The result indicates that fertility in heifers is a different trait than fertility in lactating cows, and hence it cannot be used as robust indicator of cow fertility, and milk yield depends on both pMY and LL, and, as such, is a cause and consequence of (in)fertility.
