Fixed effects in models for the genetic evaluation of backfat thickness and time on test in gilts

Fixed effects in the model for backfat thickness and the time on test were evaluated. Data records from large scale farm in period from January 1998 to December 2007 were analyzed. Two models were developed. Fixed effects of genotype, season and weight were included in the model for backfat thicknes...
