Genetic analysis of somatic cell score and udder type traits in South African Holstein cows
_______________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Selection accuracy for resistance to mastitis may be increased by combining somatic cell score (SCS) and udder type into an udder health index, using genetic parameter estimates among them. A multi-trait animal model was used to estimate genetic parameters among lactation average SCS and udder type ...
متن کاملAssociation of Somatic Cell Score with Production Traits in Iranian Holstein Cows
The objective of this study was to analyze the association of somatic cell score (SCS) with milk, fat and protein yields across parities. Records of production traits and somatic cell counts (SCC) from first, second and third parity that were collected by the Animal Breeding Center of Iran from 1993 to 2010 were used.All animals were grouped into six classes according to SCC and production trai...
متن کاملEstimation of Genetic Parameters and Genetic Trends of Somatic Cell Score in Iranian Holstein Cows Using Test-Day Records
The aim of the present study was to estimate the genetic parameters and genetic trends of somatic cell score (SCS) in the first 3 lactations of Iranian Holstein cows by random regression (RR) animal model by using Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) method. The data set used in this analysis included observations of 340318 test-day records of 41526 cows in 288 herds; 89969 test-day of 11750 co...
متن کاملAn analysis of the genetic relationship between udder health and udder conformation traits in South African Jersey cows.
A multi-trait animal model was used to estimate genetic parameters among lactation somatic cell score (SCS) and udder-type traits in South African Jersey cattle, through restricted maximum likelihood (REML) procedures. Data comprised records on 18 321 Jersey cows in 470 herds, collected through the National Milk Recording Scheme from 1996 to 2002. Average SCS in the first three lactations (SCS1...
متن کاملGenetic correlation of average somatic cell score at different stages of lactation with milk yield and composition in Holstein cows
Genetic and non-genetic correlations of the average somatic cell score (SCS) at different stages oflactation (100, 150, 200, 305 and 365 days in milk) with lactation performance were estimated based on thefirst lactation records of Iranian Holstein calving during 2000 to 2009. (Co) variance components wereestimated using derivative-free REML based on multiple traits animal models. The estimated...
