abstract = "Data set including 10860 primiparous Holstein-Friesian breed
cows first calved in the period from 2011 to 2015, was used in determining
phenotypic variability and correlation between the traits of milk yield and linearly
estimated traits of udder and angularity. The average values obtained for type traits
(angularity, fore udder attachment, front teats placement, teats length, udder depth
and rear udder height) were 6.47; 5.74; 4.96; 5.20; 5.99 and 6.25, respectively.
The values obtained for phenotypic correlations between linear type traits and traits
of milk yield ranged from -0.042 (udder depth and milk yield) to 0.335 (fore udder
attachment and protein yield). Positive phenotypic correlation (0.293) was recorded
also between fore udder attachment and milk yield which is deemed the most
important trait of milk yield while the lowest correlation between milk yields was
determined in relation to udder depth (-0.033). The results obtained indicate a
possibility of applying direct and indirect multiple traits selection which should be
conducted within a national progeny-testing programme on Holstein-Friesian bulls
by using the method of selection indexes.",
