Estimation of heritability for claw traits in Holstein cattle using Bayesian and REML approaches

The aim of this study was to estimate the heritability of claw conformation traits in Slovak Holstein cattle by using two approaches: the Bayesian method and the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) algorithm. Overall 860 claw trimming records of 716 dairy cows were included in this study. The claw...
