Summary

A possible relationship between the Relative Breeding Value (R.B.V.) and some skin characteristics has been investigated in 89 British Friesian pedigree bulls made available by the Milk Marketing Board of England and Wales.

It was found that there was a statistically significant correlation between the R.B.V. and the follicle diameter. There was also a correlation between the thickness of the papillary layer and the R.B.V. The possible value of the results for selection purposes is discussed.
