Genetic parameters for quail body weights using a random regression model

  • 2004
  • Issue: 2
  • Volume: 34
Y. Akbas, C. Takma and E. Yaylak Page: 104 - 109

A model including fixed and random linear regressions is described for analyzing body weights at different ages. In this study, (co)variance components, heritabilities for quail weekly weights and genetic correlations among these weights were estimated using a random regression model…
