Using mechanistic animal growth models to estimate genetic parameters of biological traits
Mechanistic animal growth models can incorporate a description of the genotype as represented by underlying biological traits that aim to specify the animal's genetic potential for performance, independent from the environmental factors captured by the models. It can be argued that these traits...
