Single- and multiple-breed genomic evaluations for conformation traits in Canadian Alpine and Saanen dairy goats. [PDF]
, 2022 Conformation traits are functional traits known to affect longevity, production efficiency, and profitability of dairy goats. However, genetic progress for these traits is expected to be slower than for milk production traits due to the limited number of

An Extended Photoperiod Increases Milk Yield and Decreases Ovulatory Activity in Dairy Goats
Animals, 2020 Short day length is associated with reduced milk production in dairy ruminants. Dairy ruminants have been kept in lit sheds during winter to extend the day length and stimulate milk production.
