Genetic evaluation of oocyte and embryo production in dairy Gir cattle using repeatability and random regression models

ABSTRACT The objective of this work is to estimate genetic parameters and breeding values to improve embryo and oocyte production, using repeatability and random regression models (RRM) for Gir dairy cattle. We used 11,398 records of ovum pick-up from 1,747 dairy Gir donors and evaluated sixteen dif...
