Abstract
Type traits have become a selection goal in many breeder association due to the economic value recognised to some measurements. In dairy cattle, relationships of type with production (Veerkamp and Brotherstone, 1997; Kadarmideen and Wegmann, 2003) and/or with longevity (Larroque and Ducrocq, 2001; Vukasinovic et al., 2002) have been widely investigated in order to use type traits as predictors of herd life.
