TY - JOUR T1 - Estimation of Variance Components of Growth Characteristics in Morkaraman Lambs Using Different Methods AU - , Omer Cevdet Bilgin AU - , Nurinisa Esenbuga JO - Journal of Animal and Veterinary Advances VL - 3 IS - 11 SP - 749 EP - 753 PY - 2004 DA - 2001/08/19 SN - 1680-5593 DO - javaa.2004.749.753 UR - https://makhillpublications.co/view-article.php?doi=javaa.2004.749.753 KW - AB - The methods of Henderson`s method 3, maximum likelihood (ML), restricted maximum likelihood (REML) and minimum variance quadratic unbiased estimation (MIVQUE) were used to estimate variance components and to predict heritabilities of birth weight, weaning weight and daily weight gain until weaning in Morkaraman lambs. The results were evaluated according to different criteria and discussed. ER -
