Their study indicatedthat the most important factors used by dairy farmers in valuing dairy bulls aremilk volume, protein and fat content, general conformation, body capacity, andpopularity of the bull.
Genetic correlations of BCS with 8 conformation traits were significant; stature (0.28), heart girth (0.21), strength (0.17), loin (−0.39), body capacity (0.19), dairy character (−0.35), udder quality (−0.42), and teat position rear (−0.33).
Work incentives could be high but body capacity is low.
When the body capacity to compensate for the pathological changes progressing in given areas is exceeded, however, imbalance sets in and pathological symptoms will appear.
Although never before measured in EUC, the ratios of As species in urine have often been used in population studies to evaluate the body capacity to methylate iAs.
Homocysteine is mainly synthesized and metabolized in the liver, since metabolism of majority of dietary methionine occurs in this organ, where about 85% of the whole body capacity for transmethylation resides.
A profound alteration in plasma and urine ionic pattern takes place upon altitude exposure, intended to enhance the body capacity to uptake and transport oxygen to tissue cells and to contain the progression of plasma alkalinization.
At the same time, it should show good depth indicating body capacity.
Adequate width between front and hind legs also indicate good and muscling body capacity.
The chest floor, as well as spring of ribs, should exhibit good body capacity and overall productiveness.
