Estimates of Parameters for Genetic Relationship between Reproductive Performances and Body Condition Score of Hanwoo Cows

Abstract

Body condition scores (BCS) of cows and heifers on reproduction from 1999 to 2000 at two stations (Namwon and Daekwanryong branches) of National Livestock Research Institute, Korea and three private breeding farms were observed. Their records on growth and reproduction were collected from each farm. Data structure and number of animals observed are summarized in Table 1 by the year of observations and farms and in Table 2 by parity.
