Feasibility of a linear scoring method of udder morphology for the selection scheme of Sardinian sheep.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Jun 2006

Casu Sara, Pernazza I, Carta A

Abstract excerpt

Breeders are increasingly interested in improving the machine milkability of Sardinian dairy sheep by selection for udder morphology. Nine-point linear scales were developed to appraise teat placement, degree of suspension of the udder, udder depth, and degree of separation of the 2 halves. Repeatabilities within and across lactation were estimated on an experimental flock. Ewes were scored at least 3 times a...
