Abstract excerpt
Genetic and phenotypic correlations between linear type traits and SCC were estimated from lactation average SCC from Pennsylvania DHIA and Holstein linear type evaluations from Sire Power, Inc. and Holstein Association using REML. Correlations were estimated between linear type traits and SCC measured in first lactation and between linear type traits measured in first lactation and SCC measured in second or...
