Genetic parameters for clinical mastitis in Holstein-Friesians in the United Kingdom: a Bayesian analysis
2001-10-01
Abstract excerpt
A Bayesian threshold-liability model with Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques was used to infer genetic parameters for clinical mastitis records collected on Holstein-Friesian cows by one of the United Kingdom's national recording schemes. Four data sets were created to investigate the effect of data sampling methods on genetic parameter estimates for first and multi-lactation cows, separately. The data sets were:...
