Factor Analysis of Genetic Parameters for Body Conformation Traits in Dual-Purpose Simmental Cattle

In this study, we estimated the genetic parameters for 6 composite traits and 27 body conformation traits of 1016 dual-purpose Simmental cattle reared in northwestern China from 2010 to 2019 using a linear animal mixed model. To integrate these traits, a variety of methods were used as follows: (1)...
