ABSTRACT: This study sought to estimate (co)variance and genetic parameters for birth weight (BWT) weaning (WWT) in Santa Ines sheep. A total of 2,111 records were obtained from EMBRAPA/CPATC experimental herds, dating the years 1998 2008. (Co)variance through a two-trait analysis with Gibbs sampling algorithm using MTGSAM program. The mixed model included environmental effects sex, contemporary group type birth, addition residual, direct maternal additive effects. Mean estimates...

Growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), and leptin (LEP) can be candidate genes for association studies because they play vital roles in the metabolism process.
