Country: Finland

Summary:

This paper’s objectives were to estimate the genetic (co)variance components
of the Gompertz growth curve parameters and to evaluate the
relationship of estimated breeding values (EBV) based on average daily
gain (ADG) and Gompertz growth curves. It was found that the growth curves differ significantly between individuals and this information could be used for selection purposes when selecting for improved growth rate.
