Wechselwirkung zwischen Vater und Mutter in der Milchrinderzüchtung

Abstract. Title of the paper: Interaction between sire and dam in dairy cattle breeding
The traditional animal model in genetic evaluation has been extended by a sire * dam interaction component demonstrating the computational feasibility.

The expected additional information response from including a sire * dam component is small, however, this effect come larger with an increase in the number of animals produced by biotechnical means which will likely get special treatments.
