Genetic parameters and heterogeneity of variance to milk yield in Murrah breed for Bayesian inference Heterogeneidade de variâncias e parâmetros genéticos para produção de leite em bubalinos da raça Murrah, mediante inferência Bayesiana

Data from 2061 lactations of 532 females of the Murrah breed, daughters of 44 sires, calving from 1975 to 2001 were used to evaluate the effects of heterogeneity at variance on sires genetic evaluation. The standard deviation of the milk yield was used to classify the herds among high and low variab...
