Abstract

The correlations between 34 evaluated traits in the Czech and Canadian Holstein cattle population were discussed in the article. A total 766 Czech and 851 Canadian bulls were included in the set of bulls for calculation of the correlation matrix. Correlations were calculated separately by country and within the two groups of bulls with high and low reliability of estimated breeding values (BV). The observed genetic correlations suggest links between the type traits and functional properties that can be used for selection and breeding.
