DOI: 10.1093/jas/sky076
Abstract: Linear type traits describing the skeletal, muscular, and functional characteristics of an animal are routinely scored on live animals in both the dairy and beef cattle industries. Previous studies have demonstrated that genetic parameters for… read more here.

DOI: 10.17221/3934-cjas
Abstract: The relationship between type traits in Holstein cows over generations was analysed. The analysed data set included a total of 12 157 dam-daughter pairs with linear scores of 14 type traits including a final score… read more here.

DOI: 10.3168/jds.2022-22026
Abstract: The cumulative improvement achieved in the genetic merit for reproductive performance in dairy populations will likely improve dairy cow longevity; therefore, it is time to reassess whether linear type traits are still suitable predictors of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3168/jds.2022-23048
Abstract: Greater longevity is associated with lower replacement costs, higher average milk production, and fewer replacement heifers needed. Longevity data are obtained late in life, and for this reason stayability, defined as the probability of survival… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes13081414
Abstract: In the current study, the genetic architecture of growth and linear type traits were investigated in Akkaraman sheep. Estimations of genomic heritability, genetic correlations, and phenotypic correlations were implemented for 17 growth and linear type… read more here.
