The simplest genetic model used in animal breeding presents the phenotypic value of animal P as the sum of mean P (-), genetic value G and environmental value E. Nowdays animal science is using many different modifications of this model. The themes like half- and full-sib models, animal models, models with repeated measurements, maternal models, models with QTL-effect and multivariaate models are considered. Concurrently the genetic and statistical models are given and their differences discussed for different analyses. The estimable effects and genetic parameters are presented
