Genetic parameters were estimated by restricted maximum likelihood with an animal model on first lactation data of 29,284 French Holstein cows for clinical mastitis, lactation somatic cell score, milking ease, production, and nine udder type traits. The heritability was low for clinical mastitis (0.024), moderate for lactation somatic cell score (0.17) and milking ease (0.17), and ranged from 0.17 to 0.30 for type traits. A high (0.72) but lower than unity genetic correlation was found between clinical mastitis and lactation somatic cell score and indicated that both traits were genetically favorably associated. The antagonism with production was stronger for clinical mastitis than for lactation somatic cell score (genetic correlations 0.45 and 0.15, respectively). Udder depth, fore-udder attachment, and udder balance were favorably associated with lactation somatic cell score and clinical mastitis with genetic correlations ranging from –0.29 to –0.46, whereas low correlations were found with teat length. Milking ease was found to be unfavorably correlated with lactation somatic cell score (genetic correlation 0.44) but not with clinical mastitis.
