WORK COMPLETED:

  1. Run official evaluation using data until 2017 (LR Method) - LIM

  2. Estimated VCE & EBVs for ITA LIM WW pre-adjusting observed weight at 210. Compare results with current evaluation

2b. Run evaluation using data until 2017

  1. Repeated point 2 including Maternal Effect

  2. Repeated point 3 including Maternal Effect & Permanent Maternal

model: \(ADW_{210} = \text{sex + twin + HYS} + b*Age_{dam} + b^2*Age_{dam}\)

Adjusted Weight at 210 days

The following formulas were used (Lôbo, R.B., 1992. Genetic improvement program for the Nellore breed. 2th edition. Ribeirão Preto: Universidade de São Paulo.):

  1. \(ABW_{i} = BW_b + ADG_{a,b} * d_{i-b}\)
  2. \(ABW_{i} = BW_a + ADG_{a,b} * d_{a-i}\)

Where ABW was the adjusted weight at time i (i=210); BW was the recorded weight before (b) or after (a) time i; ADG was the average daily gain estimated between time a and b; and d was the distance between time i and time b or between time a and time i.
