Abstract

Highlights • Genetic parameters were estimated for growth traits in Murciano-Granadina goats.• X-linked and autosomal additive effects were simultaneously modeled.• Maternal effects showed a notable influence on early growth traits.• X-linked heritability was low but not negligible for body weight traits.• Genetic trends differed between autosomal and X-linked EBVs over years.
