The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for 305-day cumulative milk yield (MY305) and its association with test-day milk yield (TDMY) in Saanen and Alpine goats in order to provide information that allows the use of TDMY as selection criteria. This was done using standard multi-trait and reduced rank models. Data from 1157 lactations, including the first three kiddings, and 5435 test-day records from 683 Saanen and 449 Alpine goats were used.
