Random regression models for genetic evaluation of clinical mastitis in dairy cattle

Random regression models for genetic evaluation of clinical mastitis in dairy cattle

A genetic analysis of longitudinal binary clinical mastitis (CM) data recorded on about 90 000 first-lactation Swedish Holstein cows was carried out using linear random regression models (RRM). This method for genetic evaluation of CM has theoretical advantages compared to the method of linear cross...
