Prediction of lifetime performance in Sahiwal cattle by artificial intelligence based machine learning models

Selecting animals for lifetime traits by predicting them based on first lactation traits is a useful method for economic dairy farming. This study was conducted to analyze the prediction performance of various models for prediction of lifetime performance in Sahiwal cattle. The first lactation and lifetime traits were generated from the data on milk production and fertility traits of Sahiwal cattle maintained at ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal, India.
