Estimates of direct and maternal covariance functions for growth of Australian beef calves from birth to weaning
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Records for birth and subsequent, monthly weights until weaning on beef calves of two breeds in a selection experiment were analysed fitting random regression models. Independent variables were orthogonal (Legendre) polynomials of age at weighing in days. Orders...
