Correlação Fenotípica em Vacas Cruzadas

The aim of this study was to obtain the Pearson and Spearman correlation
between type traits, which are then used for possible targeting crossbreed of
animals. The data used in this study were obtained from 24 Holstein-Gir adult
females, whose traits evaluated were: body weight, croup height, body length,
ischium size, ileum size, teat size and teat diameter. To obtain the Pearson and
Spearman correlation values, PROC CORR procedure of statistical software SAS
UNIVERSITY (2018) was used. The highest positive and favorable Pearson and
Spearman correlations obtained were between ileum size and ischium size, teat
diameter and ileus size, and between teat diameter and teat size. The values of
negative and favorable correlations observed were between croup height and ileum
size, croup height and ischium size and between body length and ischium size.
