Estimation of (co)variance components and genetic parameters for weights of red-winged tinamou using random regression models Estimação de componentes de covariância e de parâmetros genéticos de pesos de perdizes utilizando-se modelos de regressão aleatória

The objective of this work was to determine genetic parameters for body weight of tinamou in captivity. It was used random regression models in analyses of data by considering the direct additive genetic (DA) and permanent environmental effects of the animal (PE) as random effects. Residual variance...
