Abstract excerpt
Genetic and phenotypic correlations were estimated for means of log2 SCC (somatic cell scores) from the first 305 d, the first 75 d, the first 150 d, 76 to 305 d, and 151 to 305 d of lactation for first and second lactations using REML. Somatic cell scores from the Dairy Records Processing Center in Raleigh, North Carolina for 31,180 Jersey cows sired by 411 bulls were used for analyses. Correlations between sire...
