Estimation of Genetic Parameters for Wool Traits in Angora Rabbit
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2011 Different genetic parameters for weaning weight and wool traits were estimated using restricted maximum likelihood (REML) in Angora rabbits. Total wool yield of first (I), second (II) and third (III) clips were taken as a separate trait under study. The records from more than 2,700 animals were analysed through fitting six animal models with various ...
