Genetic parameters for first and second lactation milk yields of Polish black and white cattle with random regression test-day models.

Abstract excerpt

Single- and two-trait random regression models were applied to estimate variance components of test-day records of milk, fat, and protein yields in the first and second lactation of Polish Black and White cattle. The model included fixed herd test-day effect, three covariates to describe lactation curve nested within age-season classes, and random regressions for additive genetic and permanent environmental...
