Genetic parameters for first lactation test-day milk flow in Holstein cows

Genetic parameters for first lactation test-day milk flow in Holstein cows

Genetic parameters for test-day milk flow (TDMF) of 2175 first lactations of Holstein cows were estimated using multiple-trait and repeatability models. The models included the direct additive genetic effect as a random effect and contemporary group (defined as the year and month of test) and age of...
