Corrigendum to “Linear and nonlinear genetic relationships between type traits and productive life in US dairy goats” (J. Dairy Sci. (2017) 100(2) (1232–1245) (S0022030216308360)(10.3168/jds.2016-11313))

Abstract

On page 1233 (second paragraph), the third sentence should read “Their study considered that the genetic trend for productive life at 72 mo could increase up to 38.3% per generation (with respect to direct selection) when one of these traits studied was used as a selection criterion.” On page 1237, in Table 2, the unit for teat diameter should be (score), and footnote 6 should read “6Ratio of herd–sire effect (HS) = HS variance/total variance.” On page 1239, in Table 4, footnote 1 should read “1Difference in the adjusted coefficient of determination (R2 adj) between second degree and first degree regression models of breeding values.” The authors regret the errors.
