Abstract excerpt
The objectives of this study were to estimate genetic parameters of cell-mediated (CMIR) and antibody-mediated (AMIR) immune response (IR) traits of Holstein cattle on a national scale and to associate estimated breeding values of CMIR, AMIR, and overall IR with routinely evaluated traits in Canada. In collaboration with the Canadian Bovine Mastitis Research Network, 445 Holstein cows from 42 herds across Canada...
