Statistical inference of the mixed linear model with incorrect stochastic linear restrictions
We considered the general mixed linear model $ \mathscr{N} $ subject to two competing stochastic linear restrictions, $ \mathscr{M}_{0} $ and $ \mathscr{M} $, where the restrictions $ \mathscr{M} $ are the correct information whereas restrictions $ \

That BLUP is a Good Thing: The Estimation of Random Effects [PDF]
In animal breeding, Best Linear Unbiased Prediction, or BLUP, is a technique for estimating genetic merits. In general, it is a method of estimating random effects. It can be used to derive the Kalman filter, the method of Kriging used for ore reserve estimation, credibility theory used to work out insurance premiums, and Hoadley's quality measurement ...

ABSTRACT In this study, we aimed to evaluate the genetic association between fertility traits, milk yield and the fat: protein ratio (FPR) on the test day in primiparous Holstein cows. The analysed traits were milk yield (TDMY) and FPR assessed on the test day, as well as the following fertility traits: period from calving to first service (CFS), days ...

Objetivou-se avaliar o coeficiente de endogamia, a fixação de alelos e o limite de seleção em populações selecionadas durante 20 gerações. A seleção foi baseada nos valores genéticos preditos pelo BLUP clássico (BLUP) e pelo BLUP marcadores (BLUPM) e na ...

ABSTRACT Genetic progress of breeding programs is highly dependent on the size of reference populations and the relatedness between reference populations and selection candidates. Many reasons can lead a population to split into several subpopulations (sanitary, physiological, political reasons, etc.).

ABSTRACT Missing pedigrees are a common problem in most populations. Animals with unknown ancestors are usually treated as founders; however, this can underestimate inbreeding, not properly account for different base populations, and bias breeding values.

ABSTRACT Mature cow size, often defined by mature cow weight (MWT), height (MHT) and body condition score (BCS), is crucial to cow‐calf profitability, maintenance efficiency and reproductive performance. Although MWT and MHT are often included in national cattle evaluations by many breed organisations, BCS adjustments are applied less consistently ...
