Abstract excerpt
This study presents genetic parameters for conformation traits and their genetic and phenotypic correlations with milk production traits and somatic cell score (SCS) in three Swiss dairy cattle breeds. Data on first lactations from Holstein (67,839), Brown Swiss (173,372) and Red & White breeds (53,784) were available. Analysed conformation traits were stature and heart girth (both in cm), and linear scores of...
