Specific Combining Ability Among Dairy Sires for Type Traits
Abstract Type records of 12,030 Canadian Holstein cows in first lactation with both sires and maternal grandsires in a group of 200 artificial insemination sires were analyzed to determine the importance of specific combining ability. Data were adjusted for effects of round of classification, age, stage, and season of classification before final ...

Estimation of variances of the effects of incomplete diallels using a matrix approach
A matrix approach is described for assessing the variance of effects in incomplete diallels designs. The method is illustrated by reference to simulated complete and incomplete diallels using different combinations of constraints, average degree of ...
