SIRE– MATERNAL GRANDSIRE INTERACTION ON (CO)VARIANCE ESTIMATIONS, AND GENETIC TREND OF PRE-WEANING GROWTH TRAITS OF NELLORE CATTLE INTERAÇÃO PAI–AVÔ-MATERNO NA ESTIMATIVA DE CO)VARIÂNCIAS, E TENDÊNCIA GENÉTICA DO CRESCIMENTO PRÉ-DESMAMA EM GADO NELORE
Adjusted weights at 120 (P120) and 240 (P240) days of age from 8,084 Nellore calves of both sexes were used to obtain estimate of (co)variance components and predictions of breeding values. Calves were born between 1987 and 1997 and raised on pasture in 31 herds. The complete mixed model for each tr...
