Abstract excerpt
The Bayesian approach was implemented for fitting several maternally ancestral models for weaning weight data of Angus calves. The goal was to evaluate to what extent genetic evaluation models with additive grand maternal effects (G), or with an ancestrally structured covariance matrix for maternal environmental effects (E), or with a sire × year interaction (ISY), or combinations thereof (GE, GSY, ESY, GESY),...
