Abstract excerpt
Using Kermani sheep, the current study estimated (co)variance components and genetic parameters for average daily gain, Kleiber's ratio, growth efficiency, and relative growth rate. Data were analyzed by the average information restricted maximum likelihood (AI-REML) method using six animal models with different combinations of direct and maternal effects. The best-fitting model was determined after testing for...
