The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of hair coat on age at first calving (IPP) and calving interval (IEP) of Holstein cows managed under free stall with fans and sprinklers and to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for these traits. Data were analyzed by the least-squares method using a model that included the effects of year; season; origin of sire; sire within origin; number of inseminations; age (only for calving interval); percentage of black meshes; hair coat thickness; […]
Keywords: age at first calving; bovine; calving interval; fitness; genetic correlation; heritability
