Abstract excerpt
Grazing (G) provides an alternative management system for dairy production. Heteroscedasticity (HV) of the data may bias estimates of genetic correlations of yield traits between environments, an indicator of genotype-by-environment interaction (GxE). The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of HV on estimates of heritabilities and genetic correlations for mature-equivalent milk, protein, and fat...
