Abstract excerpt
Linear and nonlinear relationships between functional herd life and conformation traits were investigated by regression of functional herd life of 63,602 Quebec Holstein cows on the estimated transmitting abilities of their sires for conformation traits. Relationships with functional herd life were obtained by inclusion in regression models of covariants for the deviations of cows in production of milk and fat....
