Estimates of covariance functions for growth of Anglo-Nubian goats Estimativas de funções de covariância para crescimento de caprinos anglo nubianos

It was used 4,313 weight records from birth to 196 days of age from 946 Anglo-nubiana breed goats, progenies from 43 sires and 279 dams, controlled in the period from 1980 to 2005, with the objective of estimating covariance functions and genetic parameters of animals by using random regression mode...
