Low heritability-high variance controversy for dairy cattle disease traits
Traits with low heritability estimates such as health and fertility are often assumed to have low genetic variance. However, the heritability is a ratio of additive genetic variance over all variance, and thus, the genetic variation of these traits may only be proportionally small. Health in dairy c...
