Milk production records of 5,258 lactations at first calving from straightbred Gyr and crossbred Gyr:Holstein cows were used to evaluate the relationship between sire predicted transmitting ability (PTA) and the milk production of their progeny. Animal model was used to calculate the PTA using straightbred Gyr daughter only, the crossbred Gyr daughters only and all daughters at the same time. Subsequently, the PTA regressions and correlations of the sires obtained under different alternatives, with the straightbred and, or crossbred daughters […]
