Inferring causal structures and comparing the causal effects among calving difficulty, gestation length and calf size in Japanese Black cattle.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 Dec 2017

Inoue K, Hosono M, Tanimoto Y

Abstract excerpt

The objectives of this study were to infer phenotypic causal networks involving gestation length (GL) and calving difficulty (CD) for the primiparity of 1850 Japanese Black heifers, and the birth weight (BWT), withers height (WH) and chest girth (CHG) of their full blood calves, and to compare the causal effects among them. The inductive causation (IC) algorithm was employed to search for causal links among these...
