The impact of heterogeneity of variances on the genetic evaluation of performance traits in Nellore cattle

ABSTRACT The objective was to evaluate the existence of heterogeneity of variances and its impact on the genetic evaluation of ponderal performance in sires of the Nellore breed. We used records of adjusted body weights at 210 (W210), 365 (W365), and 450 (W450) days of age. Both W365 and W450 were c...
