There were no significant positive correlations between birthweight and resistance, although that with Myiasis approached significance (P ≤ 0.1).
Additionally, the highly significant negative correlation between resistance to the Salmonella pathogen in calves and cows implies that resistance traits in calves are not good indicators or early predictors for the resistance traits and genetic improvement of cow health after calving in first parity, supporting a previous pedigree and GWA study [ 40 ].
