Heterogeneity of (Co)Variance Components for Jersey Type Traits
Heterogeneity of (co)variances for US Jersey linear and final scores was investigated with data from February 2000 USDA genetic evaluations. (Co)variances were estimated from datasets defined by parity, contemporary group size, and mean final score. First-appraisal scores during first or second parity from records that included all traits were studied. Contemporary groups within each parity wer...
متن کاملGenetic relationships between calving interval and linear type traits in South African Holstein and Jersey cattle
Genetic correlations between first calving interval (CI) and linear type traits in South African Holstein and Jersey cattle were estimated to assess the possibility of using type information as selection criteria for CI. All linear type traits routinely evaluated under the National Genetic Evaluation Programme (18 for Jersey and 17 for Holstein) were considered. Data were obtained from the Nati...
متن کاملEstimation of (co) variance components and genetic parameters for growth traits in Arman sheep
(Co) variance components and genetic parameters for growth traits in Arman sheep were estimated, using data collected during an 11-year period (1999-2010), by applying the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) procedure under univariate and bivariate animal models. The studied traits were body weight of lamb at birth (BW), body weight at 3 months of age as weaning weight (WW), body weight at 6 m...
متن کاملEstimation of (co)variance components for Jersey type traits using a repeatability model.
(Co)variance components for final score and 15 linear types traits of Jersey cows were estimated by multitrait REML using multiple diagonalization and a repeatability model with 34,999 records of 22,354 cows. Multiple diagonalization gave relative off-diagonals (ratio of squared off-diagonals to the product of diagonals) of < 0.1%. Heritabilities and repeatabilities, respectively, were estimate...
متن کاملBayesian Inference of (Co) Variance Components and Genetic Parameters for Economic Traits in Iranian Holsteins via Gibbs Sampling
The aim of this study was using Bayesian approach via Gibbs sampling (GS) for estimating genetic parameters of production, reproduction and health traits in Iranian Holstein cows. Data consisted of 320666 first- lactation records of Holstein cows from 7696 sires and 260302 dams collected by the animal breeding center of Iran from year 1991 to 2010. (Co) variance components were estimated using ...
