The authors carried out studies using a database for first-calving cows of black-motley population of the Moscow region for the period 2011-2015. The authors used a previously optimized structure as the initial equation of the BLUP mixed model for assessing the genetic features of bull sires for each indicator of their daughters ’ lactation performance.
