This is a correction to: N. McHugh et al., Impact of alternative definitions of contemporary groups on genetic evaluations of traits recorded at lambing, Journal of Animal Science, Volume 95, Issue 5, May 2017, Pages 1926–1938, https://doi.org/10.2527/jas.2016.1344
The authors regret that in the published article, there was an error in the reporting of the lambing difficulty score scale. In the text the lambing difficulty score reads:“1 = no lambing assistance/unobserved, 2 = slight assistance, 3 = severe assistance and 4 = veterinary assistance (including caesarean)”.
The correct lambing difficulty score throughout the text should read: “1 = no lambing assistance/unobserved, 2 = voluntary assistance, 3 = slight assistance, and 4 = severe assistance (including veterinary)”.
The first line of the results section, which quotes the percentage per score should read: “26% required voluntary assistance, 8% required slight assistance, and 3% required severe (including veterinary) assistance at lambing”.
The authors confirm that this was an unintended error.
The emendations are outlined in this notice only to preserve the version of record.
