Abstract
Potential increases in productivity from selection for production traits is constrained by several factors. These include: 1) the heritabilities and genetic correlations among milk and milk components, 2) biological limits on nutrient intake, and 3) limitations resulting from decreased reproductive efficiency and/or increased health problems associated with increased milk and component yields.
