Genetic parameters of calving ease in dairy cattle using threshold and linear models
Genetic parameters of direct and maternal effects for calving ease (CE) in Portuguese dairy cattle were estimated applying a threshold model (TM) and three linear models (LM) using 320,953 CE records. In LM, CE scores were directly used as dependent variables (LM1) or were transformed into values on...
