in order to study on the effect of incomplete sire's pedigree on the prediction of breeding value and estimation of genetic trend, two quantitative traits such as weaning weight and average daily gain with heritabilities 0.15 and 0.30 were simulated. phenotypic, genetic and environmental correlations were assumed 0.5. resulted data files with different proportion of missed sire pedigree (0...

Data from 1731 Gentile di Puglia lambs, sired by 65 rams over a 5-year period were analyzed by a mixed model to estimate the variance components for heritability. The considered growth traits were: birth weight (BW), weight at 30 days of age (W30) and average daily gain from birth to 30 days of age (DG). Year of birth, sex of lamb, type of birth (single or twin), dam age at lambing and farm wer...
