Large White data set with performance and reproductive traits for a development line were analyzed in order to verify the importance of including maternal and common litter effects in genetic evaluation models, using four different models: model 1 – direct genetic effect; model 2 – the direct and maternal genetic effects; model 3 – the direct and common litter effects; and the model 4 – the direct, maternal and common litter effects. The traits were analyzed by Restricted Maximum Likelihood […]
