Genetic analysis of somatic cell count and milk traits in Manchega ewes: Mean lactation and test-day approaches
2003-11-01
Abstract excerpt
A total of 36 873 lactation records of Somatic Cell Counts (SCC) and 32 844 of milk yield, protein and dry matter contents of 28 694 Spanish Manchega ewes from 118 herds were used to estimate genetic parameters under different approaches. In a first step estimations were carried out under multivariate animal models including lactation mean somatic cell score (SCSL) and other milk traits (milk yield and protein and...
