Heritability of udder morphology and colostrum quality traits in swine.

Journal of animal science - 1 Sept 2016

Balzani A, Cordell H J, Sutcliffe E, Edwards S A

Abstract excerpt

The heritability of udder quality traits, defined as morphology and colostrum IgG concentration at farrowing, was estimated together with the genetic and phenotypic correlations of these traits with other production and reproduction criteria. Udder morphology traits were recorded in 988 Meidam sows and colostrum samples were collected from 528 sows. Teat length, teat diameter (DIA), interteat distance within the...
