A data exchange format and national database for producer-recorded health eve...John B. Cole, Ph.D.
There is great interest in producing dairy cows that are healthy and remain in the herd longer. Direct and indirect costs associated with disease represent a significant expense to producers, and selection for improved health may reduce these costs significantly. Genetic response to selection for improved health based upon breeding values from genetic evaluations of field-recorded traits has been well-documented. That genetic variation is not currently being directly utilized for genetic improvement. Standardized health event codes and a data exchange format (Format 6) for the collection of data from on-farm record-keeping systems are necessary for the creation of a national database for health data.
