Using a univariate and a multitrait analyses, the traits weight gain from birth to weaning (WGBW) and weight gain from weaning to yearling (WGWY) were analyzed on 4883 Charolais beef cattle, sons of 328 sires, to compare different models with the most complete model, although with more difficult applicability. The models were the MA1, animal model which included the direct effect of the animal and the genetic maternal effect; MA2, animal model which included the direct effect of the animal […]
