Genetic correlations among body condition score, somatic cell score, milk production, fertility and conformation traits in dairy cows.
2004-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Genetic and phenotypic parameters for body condition score (BCS), days to first service (DFS), non-return rate (NRR), somatic cell score (SCS), and 305-day milk, fat and protein yields were estimated, using 38930 multiple lactation records of cows across 1830 herds. The cows were daughters of 243 different sires. Single- and multi-trait repeatability animal models were used to estimate parameters based on restrict...
