Genetic relationship of discrete-time survival with fertility and production in dairy cattle using bivariate models

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Bivariate analyses of functional longevity in dairy cattle measured as survival to next lactation (SURV) with milk yield and fertility traits were carried out. A sequential threshold-linear censored model was implemented for the analyses of SURV. Records on 96 64...
