Estimation of genetic parameters for somatic cell count in the first three lactations using random regression
2003-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Genetic parameters were estimated for log(e) somatic cell count (LSCC) for the first three lactations of 31 236 Holstein/Friesian cows with 308 534, 236 277 and 206 729 test day yields in parities 1, 2 and 3, respectively. An animal random regression model was employed in the analyses using Gibbs sampling with each parity regarded as different traits. Linear and quadratic functions were fitted for the animal and p...
