Abstract excerpt
Additive, dominance, and additive by additive components of genetic variance and inbreeding depression were estimated for production traits from a group of daughters of young sires from the Canadian Holstein population. First lactations of 92,838 cows were analyzed. Three sire and dam models (additive, additive plus dominance, additive plus dominance plus additive by additive genetic effects), all including...
