Genetic parameters for marbling and body score in Anglonubian goats using Bayesian inference via threshold and linear models

Objective The aim of this study was to estimate (co) variance components and genetic parameters for categorical carcass traits using Bayesian inference via mixed linear and threshold animal models in Anglonubian goats. Methods Data were obtained from Anglonubian goats reared in the Brazilian Mid-Nor...
