ABSTRACT – Data from 573 primiparous lactating Gyr cows were used to estimate the (co) variance components of the conformation traits, milk production up to 305 days of lactation (MP) and age at first calving (AFC) by REML method. These components were used to calculate heritability coefficients and genetic, phenotypic and residual correlations. The conformation measures, the heart girth (HG), croup height (CH), body length (BL), teats length (TL), teats diameter (TD) and udder height (UH) were obtained in the […]
