Of the biometrical models usually assumed in the estimation of maternal effects reduced Willham models a genetic model allowing for direct and maternal genetic effects with a covariance between them and a permanent environmental maternal effect provided the best fit. The maternal heritabilities and were low compared to the direct heritabilities and the direct-maternal genetic correlations fam were negative and identical for both strains - and environmental maternal effects of full sibs and were approximately a factor of two greater than maternal half sibs and . A possible environmental dam-offspring covariance was accounted for in the mixed model by 1 estimation of the covariance between the environmental maternal and the environmental residual effects cEC and 2 a maternal phenotypic effect through regression on the mother s phenotype Fm Falconer model . Whilst increasing the likelihoods considerably these extended models resulted in somewhat more negative FAM values owing to positive estimates of cEC and and Fm and . A more detailed fixed effects model accounting for environmental effects due to individual parental flocks reduced estimates of FAM - to - . Results suggested a limited importance of maternal genetic effects exerting a non-Mendelian .
