Prevalence and amount of preferential treatment depended on a function correlated with true breeding value. Three mixed effect linear models were compared in terms of their ability to handle preferential treatment the classical Gaussian model a model with multivariate t-distributed errors clustered by herd and a model with independent t-distributed errors. In the models with t-distributed errors both the scale parameters and the degrees of freedom were considered unknown. A Bayesian analysis was carried out for all three models via the Gibbs sampler and posterior means were used to infer about genetic variance herd-year effects breeding values and realised response to selection. Performance over repeated sampling was assessed via Monte Carlo mean squared error. In the absence of preferential treatment the three models had a similar performance. When preferential treatment was prevalent and strong the univariate t-model was the best hence the Gaussian assumption for the errors was clearly inappropriate. It appears that some robust linear models can handle preferential treatment of animals better than the standard mixed effect linear model with Gaussian assumptions.
