Abstract

Most of the type traits have positive correlated response with lifetime traits. Therefore, these traits are important for selection of animals for high milk yield. Moreover, the udder depth can be used as a good indicator for predicting lifetime milk yield and length of productive life. Lastly, the selection may be supported with the detected QTLs, significant SNPs and candidate genes which are the potential tools to improve the lifetime traits.
