Estimation and consequences of direct-maternal genetic and environmental covariances in models for genetic evaluation in broilers

BACKGROUND: Maternal effects influence juvenile traits such as body weight and early growth in broilers. Ignoring significant maternal effects leads to reduced accuracy and inflated predicted breeding values. Including genetic and environmental direct-maternal covariances into prediction models in b...
