Genetic correlations among body condition score, somatic cell score, milk production, fertility and conformation traits in dairy cows (2004, methodology): “Genetic correlations between days to first service and non-return rate were negative as found in previous studies (e.g. Pryce et al., 1997; Kadarmideen et al., 2000) confirming that cows with poor genetic merit for cyclicity also have poor conception success.”
The impact of genetic selection for increased milk yield on the welfare of dairy cows (2010, background): “Pryce et al (1998) and Kadarmideen et al (2000) reported genetic correlations with calving interval ranging from 0.16 to 0.41 and with conception rate to first service ranging from –0.21 to –0.58.”
