“…Schaeffer and Deckers (1994) were the first researchers who proposed random regression model to model test-day records of milk traits in dairy cattle. Soon afterwards, similar analyses were done in dairy cattle by Jamrozik and Schaeffer (1997), Van der Werf et al (1998), Olori et al (1999), Kettunen et al (2000), Cobuci et al (2005Cobuci et al ( , 2011, Druet et al (2005), Zavadilová et al (2011), and many others. Random regression model was also used for the genetic parameter estimation of milk traits in dairy sheep by Ligda et al (2000), Kominakis et al (2001), Horstick et al (2002), Banos et al (2005), Cadavez et al (2011), and even in dairy goats (Breda et al, 2006;Menéndez-Buxadera et al, 2010;Menezes et al, 2011).…”
