Selection for uniformity in livestock by exploiting genetic heterogeneity of residual variance
In some situations, it is worthwhile to change not only the mean, but also the variability of traits by selection. Genetic variation in residual variance may be utilised to improve uniformity in livestock populations by selection. The objective was to investigate the effects of genetic parameters, b...
