Genetic parameters for milk yield, lactation length and calving intervals of Murrah buffaloes from Brazil

The major objective of this study was to estimate heritability and genetic correlations between milk yield (MY) and calving interval (CI) and lactation length (LL) in Murrah buffaloes using Bayesian inference. The database used belongs to the genetic improvement program of four buffalo herds from Br...
