Multi-Trait analysis of growth traits: fitting reduced rank models using principal components for Simmental beef cattle
ABSTRACT: The aim of this research was to evaluate the dimensional reduction of additive direct genetic covariance matrices in genetic evaluations of growth traits (range 100-730 days) in Simmental cattle using principal components, as well as to estimate (co)variance components and genetic paramete...
