Genetic and environmental relationship among calving interval, survival, persistency of milk yield and somatic cell count in dairy cattle
2003-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Data from Australian Holstein–Friesian cattle on calving interval (CI), survival (Surv), mean milk yield (MY), mean fat yield (FY), mean loge somatic cell count (LnSCC) and the regression of MY, FY and LnSCC on days in milk (called persistency for MY and FY and slope for LnSCC) were analysed to estimate heritability (h(2)), genetic and environmental correlations using a multi-trait sire model. The dataset consiste...
