The differences between breeds could also be estimated when the flocks used both breeds. The sampling of the data sets the addition of data from 28 and 22 progenies of Al proven sires and the relationship matrix between sampling sires contributed to increase the connection level between flocks which however remained rather low. In the same environmental conditions particularly in the same year-flock the Saanen breed appeared more high-yielding than the Alpine but solid content was lower. Within-breed the genetic standard deviation was fold larger for fat content than for protein content. The heritability of fat and protein yields was rather high to . The genetic correlations between yields were larger than . They were generally negative but rather low to between milk yield and contents. They were clearly positive between fat yield and content to and between protein yield and content to . They were close to zero and possibly positive between the yield of one
