Associations between clinical mastitis (CM) and nonreturn rate within 56 d after first insemination (NR56) were examined in Norwegian Red (NRF) cows. Records on absence or presence of CM within each of the intervals, −30 to 30, 31 to 150, and 151 to 300 d after first calving, and records on NR56 for 620,492 first-lactation daughters of 3,064 NRF sires were analyzed with a Bayesian multivariate threshold liability model. Point estimates of genetic correlations between NR56 and the 3 CM traits were between −0.05 and −0.02. Residual correlations were close to zero, and correlations between herd-5-yr effects on NR56 and CM in the 3 lactation intervals ranged from −0.15 to −0.17. It appears that CM and NR56 in first lactation are independent traits.
