The data tables are supplemental material for the research article "Trait responses of Holstein Friesian cows with different genetic merits for milk yield in relation to low input feeding". The present study focused on the comparison of HF cows with differing genetic merit for milk yield in relation to high and low input feeding in a recently established standardized and identical organic farm environment. The second specific objective in such context addressed trait responses of HF cows with high genetic milk merit when performing under challenging low input conditions.
The supplementary data include 2 tables:
- Supplementary Figure S1. Least square means for the energy efficiency-related traits (A) milk urea nitrogen in ml/l (MUN), (B) fat to protein ratio (FPR), (C) saturated fatty acids in g/100g milk (SFA), (D) unsaturated fatty acids in g/100g milk (UFA), (E) monounsaturated fatty acids in g/100g milk (MUFA), (F) polyunsaturated fatty acids in g/100g milk (PUFA), (G) short-chain fatty acids in g/100g milk (SCFA), (H) medium-chain fatty acids in g/100g milk (MCFA), (I) long-chain fatty acids in g/100g milk (LCFA), (J) body condition score (BCS), (K) back fat thickness in cm (BFT), (L) feeding time in min/day and (M) rumination time in min/day of the high input (HI) group (▲) and the low input (LI) group (■) for the 3 estimated breeding value classes (EBV_low = blue, EBV_int = orange, EBV_high = green) by days in milk (DIM).
- Supplementary Figure S2. Least square means for somatic cell score (SCS) of the high input (HI) group (▲) and the low input (LI) group (■) for the 3 estimated breeding value classes (EBV_low = blue, EBV_int = orange, EBV_high = green) by days in milk (DIM).
