Experiences of including reproduction and health traits in Scandinavian dairy cattle breeding programmes

2003-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Reproduction and health traits are of significant economic importance for dairy production. Most of these traits are expressed in a categorical way and show heritabilities of 5% or less. Nevertheless, their additive genetic variation is considerable. For example, the incidence of clinical mastitis in the first lactation varies among daughter groups of Swedish Holstein bulls between 10 and 26%, stillbirth rate at f...
