Results of SCBA Sire Test in Paraguay
A Senepol demonstration project was conducted on three commercial ranches in Paraguay starting in 1998. One calf crop was produced sired by 10 Senepol sires mated to native Zebu x British cows of varying percentages. A total of 337 calves were produced with a least one recorded measurement. Traits measured included birth, weaning and yearling weights as well as long yearling ultrasound fat thic...
متن کاملPrediction of Progeny Genetic Evaluations from Simultaneous Genetic Evaluations of the Dam, Sire, and Maternal Grandsire with an Animal Model
Simultaneous genetic evaluations for bulls and cows obtained by mixed model procedures with an animal model incorporating all numerator relationships for artificially sired Holstein cows in northeastern United States were compared with separate (Northeast) mixed model evaluations of cows and sires for predicting genetic evaluations of progeny from dam, sire, and maternal grandsire evaluations. ...
متن کاملCovariances among sire by breed group of dam interaction effects in multibreed sire evaluation procedures.
In multibreed populations, bulls need to be evaluated for additive and nonadditive genetic effects. When the nonadditive genetic effects associated with a bull are defined as sire x breed-group-of-dam interactions, they can be expressed as linear combinations of interactions between alleles of one or more breeds at one or more loci. If these specific allelic interactions are assumed to be indep...
متن کاملProgeny test for AI-sires based on Held results
In Germany the estimation of breeding values of young boars and sows is based on their own data for daily gain and backfat as well as fulland/or half-sib information on carcase traits. In breeding companies young boars are often tested under test station conditions using individual pens to get information on feed conversion while gilts are raised in groups and tested at 90 kg of weight for life...
متن کاملGeometric methods for estimation of structured covariances
We consider problems of estimation of structured covariance matrices, and in particular of matrices with a Toeplitz structure. We follow a geometric viewpoint that is based on some suitable notion of distance. To this end, we overview and compare several alternatives metrics and divergence measures. We advocate a specific one which represents the Wasserstein distance between the corresponding G...
