Abstract excerpt
Measurements for average milk flow (AMF) in kilograms of milk per minute of milking time from 629,161 Holstein cows from calving years 1990 to 2008 were used to estimate genetic covariance components using a variety of statistical models. For bivariate linear-threshold model applications, Gaussian-distributed AMF (linear sire model) was categorized into 2 distinct classes (threshold sire model) by setting...
