Estimate of phenotypic and genetic correlations between milk production and udder type traits in Iranian Holstein cows
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 November 2017
Extract
Correlation among type traits and milk production has been investigated by Meyer (1987), Brotherstone (1994) and Misztal et al (1992).One of the primary reasons for collecting and utilizing information on type traits is to aid breeders in selecting profitable functional cows for high production and suitable herd life. The objectives of this study were to estimate phenotypic and genetic correlations among milk production and udder type traits.
