g A dairy farmer chooses to mate a male bull only with the female heifers that always make the greatest amount of milk, rather than heifers that produce a small amount of milk. What process is the dairy farmer employing when producing the next generation of calves?

Respuesta :

The correct answer is Dairy cattle

Explanation: In the selection of cows for milk production, two criteria can be used: the most likely production capacity, which allows a forecast of their production in future lactations based on past lactations, and their genetic value for production, which is estimated using the cow's own production record and information from relatives, and which serves to select the sows that should be mothers of the new generations of replacement heifers.
