Table 5 Correlations* between SCS and infection status

From: Genetic parameters for somatic cell score according to udder infection status in Valle del Belice dairy sheep and impact of imperfect diagnosis of infection

  

Bacteria positive SCS

Infection status

Bacteria negative SCS

Genetic correlation:

0.62 ± 0.02

0.51

 

Phenotypic correlation:

0.19 ± 0.02

  1. *Genetic and phenotypic correlations (± SE**) between bacteria negative SCS and bacteria positive SCS, and genetic correlation between bacteria negative SCS and infection status
  2. **SE is not reported for the correlation between bacteria negative SCS and infection status, as it was estimated using a Bayesian approach
  3. ***No attempt was made to estimate a phenotypic correlation between bacteria negative SCS and infection status
