Rules for forming the mixed model equations are also presented. A numerical example illustrates the procedure.application/pdfeng© Inra - Elsevier ParisMixed model equationsAnimal modelBase populationSelectionAn expression of mixed animal model equations to account for different means and variances in the base populationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
