Description

The general objective of this work was to analyze the variability of lifetime phenotypic trajectories (milk yield (MY), body weight (BW) and body condition score (BCS)) through a 3-step approach: (1) characterize individual phenotypic trajectories, (2) explore the associations between MY, BW and BCS trajectories at the lactation scale and (3) assess the diversity of phenotypic trajectories on successive lactations.
