The heritabilities of the parameters slope (b) and intercept (In a) of the allometric function: y = In a + bx [where y = In (body mass) and x = In (cumulative feed intake)] and for p, which is the…
The allometric-autoregressive model describes growth accurately and is useful in the characterization of growth responses. Hence, the potential of the model for selection purposes was investigated. Rats were used in a selection experiment, where selection was practised for slope (b)…
