Selection on somatic cell score to improve resistance to mastitis in the United States.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Feb 1994

Shook G E, Schutz M M

Abstract excerpt

Increased genetic susceptibility to mastitis has accompanied the rapid genetic increase in milk yield, and genetic selection for mastitis resistance should be considered. Somatic cell score is recommended as an indicator trait to achieve genetic improvement for mastitis resistance. Heritability of somatic cell score is around 10%, and genetic correlation between somatic cell score and clinical mastitis is around...
