Multiple-trait genetic parameters and genetic evaluation of udder-type traits in Lacaune dairy ewes

2005-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Genetic parameters for three linear udder-type traits (teat angle, udder cleft and udder depth) in the Lacaune breed were estimated by restricted maximum likelihood (REML) using a multiple-trait animal model. The analyses were carried out on 82,019 primiparous ewes in 352 flocks, recorded by 12 classifiers from 2000 to 2003. Estimated breeding values (EBV) were computed for udder-type traits and correlations betwe...
