Data comprising 5,007 records of first lactation of Holstein cows, daughters of 930 sires, from 33 herds in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, from 1984 to 1998, were used to estimate heritability coefficients and genetic trends for milk (MY) and fat (FY) yields and for fat percentage (%F). An animal model considered the genetic additive direct and residual as random effects and milking/day number, herd and year/season of parturition, and cow age at parturition as fixed effects, linear […]
