Estimation of maternal variance components considering cow-calf contacts under extensive pastoral systems.

Journal of animal science - 1 May 2008

Prayaga K C, Henshall J M, Swain D L, Gilmour A R

Abstract excerpt

Traditional methods of variance component estimation for traits under maternal influence consist of partitioning the variance into direct additive genetic, maternal additive genetic, permanent maternal environmental, and error variance components. This partitioning is based on the assumption that each calf is nurtured and fed exclusively by its own dam. However, under extensive pastoral systems, voluntary...
