Genetic parameters of measures and population-wide infrared predictions of 92 traits describing the fine composition and technological properties of milk in Italian Simmental cattle.

Abstract excerpt

The objectives of this study were to estimate, for the Italian Simmental cattle population, genetic parameters for 92 traits and their infrared predictions (IP) and to investigate the genetic relationship between measured traits (MT) and IP. Data for milk fat fatty acid composition (n = 1,040), detailed protein composition (n = 3,337), lactoferrin (n = 558), pH (n = 3,438), coagulation properties (n = 3,266),...
