Publication Date: | 2016 | DOI: | 10.1071/AN14571 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/19212 | Abstract: | Data on Angus (ANG), Charolais (CHA), Hereford (HER), Limousin (LIM) and Simmental (SIM) cattle were used to estimate genetic parameters for calving difficulty (CD), birthweight (BWT) and gestation length (GL) using threshold-linear models and to examine the effect of inclusion of random effect of sire x herd interaction (SxH) in the models. ... Genetic parameters obtained for BWT, GL and CD, by fitting SxH as an additional random effect, are more appropriate to use in the genetic evaluation of calving ease in BREEDPLAN. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Animal Production Science, 56(5), p. 927-933 | Publisher: | CSIRO Publishing | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1836-5787 1836-0939 |
