Multivariate genetic evaluation in swine combining data from different testing schemes.

Abstract excerpt

A computational strategy is presented that allows rapid implementation of genetic evaluations using multivariate mixed models. Data generated in different testing programs such as field tests of boars and gilts, litter recording schemes and station tests of sibs may be combined to provide an estimate of the aggregate genotype. Residual and additive genetic covariance structures are given for the multivariate...
