Abstract excerpt
The objectives of this study were to derive phenotypic and genetic prediction equations of liveweight from linear conformation traits, and estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for these traits. Data pertained to 2,728 conformation and liveweight records of 613 cows in 1,529 lactations. Cows were raised at the Scottish Agricultural College research station and had calved between 2002 and 2010. Fifteen linear...
