Abstract:The objective of this study was to estimate the (co)variance components and genetic parameters for milk yield (MY), calving-to-conception interval (CCI), number of services per conception (NSC) and calving interval (CI) of Honduran Holstein cows, by tting a bivariate animal model using Maximum Restricted Likelihood procedures. Model included the xed effects of, calving number, the contemporary calving group (farm-season-year of calving and the cow age as covariate). The estimated means and standard deviations … Show more
