ABSTRACT Records of 3716 Nubian goats from the United States (US) were analyzed to estimate relationships between fourteen conformation traits (CT) with lactation average somatic cell score (ASCS). To analyze ASCS, a mixed model was implemented. Linear and quadratic effects of CT traits, days in milk (DIM), and kidding age in months (KA) were considered as fixed covariates, and herd-year (HY) of kidding as a random effect. Correlation coefficients between CT traits and ASCS adjusted for HY and linear and […]

Data of type classification from Brown Swiss Cattle Breeder`s Association of Brazil were used to evaluate non-genetic factors, heritability and genetic and phenotypic correlations of the linear type traits, classification traits and final score, as well as to evaluate correlations of type traits and milk yield. For the study of non-genetic factors was utilized the least square metolology using the GLM procedure of SAS, and, for estimate of heritability and genetic and phenotypic correlation was used an animal model. The […]
