摘要: In recent decades, electrical conductivity (EC) has been introduced as an indicator of mastitis, and genetic selection based on this trait may be possible. study, parameters for test-day EC somatic cell score (SCS) were compared. Data collected from a Danish experimental herd, including daily records SCS 265 first lactation cows. Different models tested, random regression animal model with 4th order Legendre polynomial the permanent environmental effect both traits, 1st additive 2nd SCS, gave best fit. The patterns curves similar variance two traits. Heritability estimates ranged 0.05 to 0.12, 0.01 0.09, respectively. estimate correlation between traits was high, ...
