Genetic evaluation of growth traits in Nellore cattle through multi-trait and random regression models

Genetic evaluation of growth traits in Nellore cattle through multi-trait and random regression models

We aimed to evaluate different orders of fixed and random effects in random regression models (RRM) based on Legendre orthogonal polynomials as well as to verify the feasibility of these models to describe growth curves in Nellore cattle. The proposed RRM were also compared to multi-trait models (MT...
