Genetic parameters for dystocia, milk yield and age at first calving in Brazilian Holstein cows

The present study aims to estimate genetic parameters for dystocia, milk yield and age at first calving of Holstein cows reared in intensive production systems located in the southeastern region of Brazil. A total of 26,987 first-lactation records of Holstein cows were used. The following traits wer...
