Abstract excerpt
Heritabilities of, and genetic and phenotypic correlations between, type traits and the arithmetic mean of lactational SCC were estimated using minimum norm quadratic unbiased estimation and two multitrait REML methods. Three sets of data were analyzed. Heritabilities of all traits were small. For SCC, heritabilities varied between .09 and .11 and for type traits, between .08 and .14. Genetic correlations between...
