the objective of this study was to analyze the association of somatic cell score (scs) with milk, fat and protein yields across parities. records of production traits and somatic cell counts (scc) from first, second and third parity that were collected by the animal breeding center of iran from 1993 to 2010 were used.all animals were grouped into six classes according to scc and production trai...

the aim of the present study was to estimate the genetic parameters and genetic trends of somatic cell score (scs) in the first 3 lactations of iranian holstein cows by random regression (rr) animal model by using restricted maximum likelihood (reml) method. the data set used in this analysis included observations of 340318 test-day records of 41526 cows in 288 herds; 89969 test-day of 11750 co...

the aim of this study was using bayesian approach via gibbs sampling (gs) for estimating genetic parameters of production, reproduction and health traits in iranian holstein cows. data consisted of 320666 first- lactation records of holstein cows from 7696 sires and 260302 dams collected by the animal breeding center of iran from year 1991 to 2010. (co) variance components were estimated using ...

genetic and non-genetic correlations of the average somatic cell score (scs) at different stages oflactation (100, 150, 200, 305 and 365 days in milk) with lactation performance were estimated based on thefirst lactation records of iranian holstein calving during 2000 to 2009. (co) variance components wereestimated using derivative-free reml based on multiple traits animal models. the estimated...

the objective of this research was to estimate the genetic parameters and trend of somatic cell count in holstein cows of iran using test day records. the phenotypic the used data consisted of were consisting of 407167 first lactation test day records the which were collected by the center of animal breeding and livestock production improvement center of iran during 2009 to 2013. somatic cell c...

in this study test-day records of milk (kg), fat (g), and protein (g) yields, somatic cell score (scs, cells/ml) collected by animal breeding center of iran during 2007 and 2009 were used to estimate genetic parameters using random regression model. models with different order of legendre polynomials were compared using bayesian information criterion (bic).for milk, fat yield and scs genetic an...

The objective of this study was to analyze the association of somatic cell score (SCS) with milk, fat and protein yields across parities. Records of production traits and somatic cell counts (SCC) from first, second and third parity that were collected by the Animal Breeding Center of Iran from 1993 to 2010 were used.All animals were grouped into six classes according to SCC and production trai...

in this study, a total of 101,147 monthly test day records of somatic cell count collected from 13,977 first lactation holstein cows (in 183 herds) calved between 2002 and 2006 were used. for the genetic analysis, a random regression test day model was utilized. somatic cell score (scs) was calculated based on natural logarithm of somatic cell count. in the model, fixed effect of contemporary g...

the aim of this study was to estimate the genetic and phonotypic trends of somatic cell score in iranian holstein cows. also, the environmental factors affecting this trait are investigated. a total of 375351 test day records of somatic cells take from 54374 animals between year 2002 and 2007 were used in this study. the breeding values were estimated by fitting animal model in asreml software....
