Structural Equations Modeling of Hidden Genetic Constructs of Production, Reproduction and Longevity in Holstein Cows in Iran

     In structural equation modeling, it is possible to create hidden variables that cannot be directly measured by the researcher. The aim of this study was to model the structural equations of hidden genetic constructs of production, reproduction and longevity of Holstein dairy cows in Iran using breeding value of the traits that make up these constructs. Accordingly, the breeding value of th...
