  1. 6. Low heritability-high variance controversy for dairy cattle disease traits

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Maja Winther Iversen; [2014]
    Keywords : coefficient of variation; genetic variance; health traits; heritability; progeny groups;

    Abstract : Traits with low heritability estimates such as health and fertility are often assumed to have low genetic variance. However, the heritability is a ratio of additive genetic variance over all variance, and thus, the genetic variation of these traits may only be proportionally small. READ MORE

    Abstract : For the construction of a wind farm, one needs to assess the wind resources of the considered site location. Using reference time series from numerical weather prediction models, global assimilation databases or observations close to the area considered, the on-site measured wind speeds and wind directions are corrected in order to represent the actual long-term wind conditions.
