Genetic parameters and litter trait trends of Danish pigs in South Vietnam [PDF]
Objective The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters and various litter trait trends of Danish pigs in South Vietnam, including the number born alive (NBA), number weaned (NW), and litter weight at the 21st day (LW21).

Abstract Five estimators of intraherd genetic trend were compared in 13,615 Holstein first lactations from 220 progeny test herds. The preferred method estimated the trend as minus twice the regression of deviated production on time of freshening within sire-herd subclasses. Estimates of annual intraherd genetic trend from this approach were 82 kg of

Summary A method for estimating trend in genetic merit is described for a population consisting of animals sired by artificial insemination and of animals sired naturally. The contemporary comparison of unselected progeny of an artificially used sire and their naturally sired contemporaries making first records under the same conditions constitutes a

Genetic evaluation of clinical mastitis traits in Holstein cattle
The results obtained from different models for predicting breeding values for clinical mastitis (CM) in Holstein cattle were compared. CM was recorded in 30 882 lactations of 12 793 cows in 8 herds from 1996 to 2016. CM was considered either as an all-or-
