Test day-milk yields variance component estimation using repeatability or random regression models in the Rendena breed

This study has aimed to compare Repeatability (RP-TDm) and Random-Regression Test Day models (RR-TDm) in genetic evaluations of milk (M), fat (F) and protein (P) yields in Rendena breed. Variance estimations for Milk (M), Fat (F) and Protein (P) were obtained on a sample of 43,842 TD belonging to 2,...
