Short communication: exploring patterns of variation in conformation data by means of principal components analysis.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Nov 2008

Schneider M del P, Fikse W F

Abstract excerpt

To explore patterns of variation in Holstein conformation data, 19 genetic correlation matrices from the May 2006 Interbull routine international sire genetic evaluation were reparameterized using an approximate factor analysis. For the udder traits teat length and rear teat placement, only 3 and 5 principal components explained 98 and 99% of the total variation, respectively, whereas 9 to 13 were necessary for...
