The method of combining the additive genetic relationships between animals with the phenotypic information of some of those animals to estimate all of their breeding values is called the Animal Model. The Animal Model is not only useful in case of missing phenotypic observations, but also to increase the quality of phenotypic information so that the breeding value can be estimated more accurately. So how does the animal model work?

Thus: the Animal Model represents a method that makes use of phenotypic information of relatives to estimate the breeding value of an animal |
