Prospects for statistical methods in dairy cattle breeding

Year: 1999

Type: article

Abstract: Accurate prediction of breeding values is of great importance for cattle improvement programmes.The prediction of breeding values requires knowledge of the magnitude of the variances and covariances of random effects.This paper gives a short review of methods of estimation of genetic variance parameters, contrasting analytical estimates with iterative and sampling based methods.
