Comparison of methods of estimating variance components in pigs.

Journal of animal science - 1 Apr 1991

Keele J W, Long T E, Johnson R K

Abstract excerpt

Components of variance due to average effects of genes (sigma 2g), environmental effects common to littermates (sigma 2c), and environmental effects peculiar to individual pigs (sigma 2e) were estimated (--) by the Pseudo Expectation Approach (PE). Data were litter size (LS), backfat (BF; centimeter) and ADG (kilograms/day) collected from the Nebraska Gene Pool swine population between 1967 and 1986. Mean square...
