Genetic parameters of the linear body conformation traits and genetic correlations with udder traits, milk yield and composition, and somatic cell count in dairy ewes

2011-12-01

Abstract excerpt

This study was designed to estimate the inheritance of linear body conformation traits and their genetic correlations with linear udder traits, milk yield and composition, and somatic cell count (SCC) in dairy sheep. A total of 10 189 records of five body conformation traits, five linear udder traits, milk yield, protein and fat content, and SCC were obtained from 3977 adult ewes that were daughters of 268 sires b...
