Growth curves and genetic parameters for growth traits in Bolivian llamas

Heritabilities and genetic correlations were estimated using animal model procedures based on mother-offspring relationships. Heritabilitiy estimates were 0.36, 0.27, 0.15, 0.09 and 0.11 for BW, HW, CC, BL and AC, genetic correlations ranged from 0.55 to 0.94.
