Milk yield records of 754 Murrah female buffaloes were used to evaluate the effects of heterogeneity of variance among herds on genetic evaluation. The restricted maximum likelihood method was used to estimate the (co)variance components using four bi-trait models, considering season and herd-year of birth as fixed effects and age of the cow as covariable (linear and quadratic effects). The following models were used: additive; repeatability; additive with sire x herd-year interaction; and repeatability with sire x herd-year interaction. The […]
