It is established that the use of the linear&nbsp;classification method makes it possible to objectively determine the level of&nbsp;development of exterior signs of the first-calf cows of the Ukrainian Red and White&nbsp;dairy breed, which, according to the estimates, are characterized by a good development&nbsp;of the signs of the dairy type. At the same time, daughters of the bulls of Elewaishna line&nbsp;1491007.65 and Cavaler 162027.72 by the complex of linear descriptive signs of the&nbsp;first-calf cows received the highest estimates. The use of this technique for assessment of&nbsp;the bull-producers by the exterior type of their daughters, certain cows of the breeding&nbsp;group, high-value founder and family members contributes to consolidation of dairy&nbsp;herds and fulfilment of the genetic potential.</p&gt;}, number={85}, journal={Feeds and Feed Production}, author={Zaets, A. and Stoliar, Zh. and Mandrik, M. and Bihas, O.}, year={1}, month={1}, pages={113-119} }
