Random regression models using Legendre orthogonal polynomials to evaluate the milk production of Alpine goats.
The objective of this study was to identify the best random regression model using Legendre orthogonal polynomials to evaluate Alpine goats genetically and to estimate the parameters for test day milk yield. On the test day, we analyzed 20,710 records of milk yield of 667 goats from the Goat Sector of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa. The evaluated models had combinations of distinct fitting ...
متن کاملRandom regression models for estimation of covariance functions of growth in Iranian Kurdi sheep
Body weight (BW) records (n=11,659) of 4961 Kurdi sheep from 215 sires and 2085 dams were used to estimate the additive genetic, direct and maternal permanent environmental effects on growth from 1 to 300 days of age. The data were collected from 1993 to 2015 at a breeding station in North Khorasan province; Iran. Genetic parameters for growth traits were estimated using random regression test-...
متن کاملRandom regression models using different functions to model milk flow in dairy cows.
We analyzed 75,555 test-day milk flow records from 2175 primiparous Holstein cows that calved between 1997 and 2005. Milk flow was obtained by dividing the mean milk yield (kg) of the 3 daily milking by the total milking time (min) and was expressed as kg/min. Milk flow was grouped into 43 weekly classes. The analyses were performed using a single-trait Random Regression Models that included di...
متن کاملRandom regression models using different functions to model test-day milk yield of Brazilian Holstein cows.
We analyzed 152,145 test-day records from 7317 first lactations of Holstein cows recorded from 1995 to 2003. Our objective was to model variations in test-day milk yield during the first lactation of Holstein cows by random regression model (RRM), using various functions in order to obtain adequate and parsimonious models for the estimation of genetic parameters. Test-day milk yields were...
متن کاملModeling ‘repeated’ Records : Covariance Functions and Random Regression Models to Analyse Animal Breeding Data
INTRODUCTION There is a plethora of statistical literature on modeling and analysis of repeated records, often referred to as longitudinal or growth curve data. These can be analysed fitting a linear model using (restricted) maximum likelihood (Ware 1985). This framework accommodates a wide range of assumptions about the structural form of covariance matrices (e.g. Jennrich and Schluchter 1986)...
