The objective of this work was to compare random regression models for the estimation of genetic parameters for Guzerat milk production, using orthogonal Legendre polynomials. Records (20,524) of test-day milk yield (TDMY) from 2,816 first-lactation Guzerat cows were used. TDMY grouped into 10-monthly classes were analyzed for additive genetic effect and for environmental and residual permanent effects (random effects), whereas the contemporary group, calving age (linear and quadratic effects) and mean lactation curve were analized as fixed effects. Trajectories for the additive genetic and permanent environmental effects were modeled by means of a covariance function employing orthogonal Legendre polynomials ranging from the second to the fifth order.... |

Abstract: The objective of this work was to estimate covariance functions for additive genetic and permanent environmental effects, as well as to obtain genetic parameters for buffalo test-day milk yield using random regression models on Legendre polynomials (LPs). A total of 2,538 test-day milk yield (TDMY) records from 516 first lactation records of Khuzestan buffalo, calving from 1993 to 2009 and belonging to 150 herds located in the state of Khuzestan, Iran, were analyzed. The residual variances were modeled through a step function with 1, 5, 6, 9, and 19 classes. The additive genetic and permanent environmental random effects were modeled by LPs of days in milk using quadratic to septic polynomial functions. The model with additive genetic and animal... |
