An approximate multitrait model for genetic evaluation in dairy cattle with a robust estimation of genetic trends (<it>Open Access publication</it>)

<p>Abstract</p> <p>In a stochastic simulation study of a dairy cattle population three multitrait models for estimation of genetic parameters and prediction of breeding values were compared. The first model was an approximate multitrait model using a two-step procedure. The first s...
