Analysis of Relations Between the Type Traits and Milk Yield in Holstein-Friesian Cows in Aydın

Abstract

In the present study, the relations between type traits and milk yield in Holstein-Friesian cows were evaluated. A total of 105 head Holstein-Friesian cows raised between 2010 May and 2011 April at two private dairy farms in Ziyaretli Village located in Bozdogan province, Aydin were enrolled in the present study. Seventeen linear type traits on a scale of 1 to 9, and 4 general traits on a scale of 65 to 100 were scored. The mean total score values of Holstein-Friesian cows that were grown up in two private dairy farms were ranged between 75 to 82 in farm A and 72 to 85 in farm B. The relations between traits and 305-day milk yield were investigated by Spearman rank correlation. The positive and significant phenotypic correlations were found between some type traits and 305-day milk yield P
