Abstract excerpt
The objectives of this study were to assess differences in the heritability of type (conformation) traits between herds that differ in mean final score and completeness of pedigree and performance data and to estimate genetic correlations among these environments. Measurement of subjective characteristics, such as conformation traits, may be more difficult in herds with poor management conditions, and genetic...
