, Poland Zoometric measurements, as well as distribution of coat colours, were studied in 1981-85 in Polish Heath Sheep kept in ?elazna station. Seven of these measurements were repeated in 1996, and eventually in 2007. Additionally, extensive studies on colour distribution were carried out in order to assess breed exterior. Results enabled us to put forward some suggestions, concerning future breeding and preserving of the original type. 2007 results showed a significant decrease in oblique body length, together with a highly significant decrease of body length index, compared to those, obtained in 1981-85 and 1996. This indicates the desirable tendency to return to breed typical, almost square proportions. Additionally, we observed some increase in the length and width of head, what seems less desirable, and decrease in metacarpal circumference, Ciszewskiego, vol.3, pp.2-786

, Health traits were scored as absent (0), slight (1) or severe (2). Many cows were trimmed twice within alactation but only the first trimming was used for the analysis. The edited data sets consisted of 65 816 records from first and 24 121 records from second lactation of SH, and of 58 457 records from first and 22 282 records from second lactation of SR. Frequency of occurrence were highest for SH (25-27%) followed by HH (15-18%), DD (7%) and lowest for SU (3-5%). A linear animal model was used to obtain genetic parameters. Heritabilities across breeds were in the range 0.034 to 0.069 for first lactation and 0.032 to 0.085 for second lactation. Genetic correlations between the same traits in first and second lactation were close to unity. Genetic correlations between DD and HH and between SH and SU were moderate to high (0.30-0.90), whereas all other correlations were low (-0.02-0.30). The study shows that claw, Occurrence of dermatitis (DD), heel horn erosion (HH), sole haemorrhage (SH), and sole ulcer (SU) recorded routinely by claw trimmers were analyzed. Data consisted of Swedish Holsteins (SH) and Swedish Red (SR) dairy cows with claw trimmings between, 2003.

, Trotter and others. Multivariate animal models were fitted to estimate variance components under REML, and to ascertain the influence of the breed on heritability. Across traits, estimates of heritability ranged from 0.07 to 0.29 for models including the breed as a random effect, and from 0.07 to 0.33 those fitted without this effect. Model fitted including genetic groups for the analysed breeds gave heritabilities from 0.05 to 0.33. The inclusion of the breed random effect reduced the estimates of heritability from 0, 2% to 12.2% whilst horses in Spain: preliminary analysis M.D. Gómez 1 , A.
