Estimation of variance components and prediction of breeding values using pooled data.

Data on performance of animals are, in several situations, collected at the group rather than individual level. Genetic evaluations in farm animals, however, are based on phenotypic information collected at the individual level. Therefore, it would be very attractive to extend genetic evaluations by incorporating information collected at the group level. In this paper we show the use of data collected at the...
