The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for type traits of hypertrophic
Piemontese cows. Seven traditional type trait evaluations (70 to 100 grid scores), 2 body …

Genetic parameters, breeding values and inbreeding depression for 22 linear type

Linear type traits describing the skeletal, muscular, and functional characteristics of an
animal are routinely scored on live animals in both the dairy and beef cattle industries …

Simple Summary Current selection in the Italian Heavy Draught Horse (IHDH) is based on
linear type traits scored on foals, but the studbook admission of candidate mares and stallion …

The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for the results of classifying of
carcass traits by the SEUROP method in beef cattle in the Czech Republic using linear and …

Three selection indexes were constructed for bulls of beef cattle: IM for terminal crossing (in
dairy herds), IZ for the selection of foundation sires for beef herd and IS for the selection of …

The linear type description in 580 horses of Czech-Moravian Belgian horse (CMB) and in
282 horses of Silesian Noriker (SN) was evaluated using a linear model with fixed effects …

Beef cattle production in the Czech Republic is a relatively new industry that has expanded
since 1990. In total, twelve beef cattle breeds and their crosses are kept in the Czech …

The evaluation of an animal is based on production records, adjusted for environmental
effects, which gives a reliable estimation of its breeding value. Highly reliable daughter yield …

We predict the stability of breeding values (BVs) for direct effect (DE) and maternal effect
