Abstract excerpt

An animal model was used to estimate the repeatabilities and genetic parameters of linear udder traits of Churra ewes (5265 records from 2015 ewes). In addition, the phenotypic correlations were examined between log SCC and udder traits. Heritabilities of udder depth (0.16), udder attachment (0.1...
