Genetic evaluation and selection response for growth in meat-type quail through random regression models using B-spline functions and Legendre polynomials

Genetic evaluation and selection response for growth in meat-type quail through random regression models using B-spline functions and Legendre polynomials

The objective was to estimate (co)variance functions using random regression models (RRM) with Legendre polynomials, B-spline function and multi-trait models aimed at evaluating genetic parameters of growth traits in meat-type quail. A database containing the complete pedigree information of 7000 me...
