The objective of this work was to calculate correction factors for the effects of age of the dam (AOD), age of the calf (AOC) and Julian birth date (DOB) on the average daily gain (ADG) from birth to weaning period of animals of Nellore breed. The data were analyzed by restricted maximum likelihood, using the animal model. The model included the fixed effects of contemporary group (CG), AOD, AOC and DOB, and the direct effects (animal), maternal, permanent environmental and […]
