Computation of this trace is usually the limiting factor of this procedure. In this paper a method is presented to approximate this trace in the case of an animal model by using an equivalent model based on the Mendelian sampling effect and by simplifying its coefficient matrix and its inversion. This approximation appeared very accurate for low heritabilities but was downwards biased when the heritability was high. Implemented in a REML procedure this approximation reduced dramatically the amount of computation but provided downwards biased estimates of genetic variances. Several examples are presented to illustrate the method. variance and covariance components restricted maximum likelihood Mendelian sampling effect animal model Resume Approximation du maximum de vraisemblance restreinte et de la variance d erreur de prediction de 1 aléa de méiose.
