Increased interest in the breeding of beef cows results from the trends of society, especially
in the consumption of quality raw materials of animal origin. Breeding of beef cattle is often …

The Montana Tropical® Composite is a recently developed beef cattle population that is
rapidly expanding in Brazil and other tropical countries. This is mainly due to its improved …

The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for female mature weight

This study was carried out to estimate the heritability and genetic correlations between
adjusted weights at 210 (W210) and 450 (W450) days of age, scrotal circumference …

This study evaluated phenotypic (rph) and genetic correlations (rg) between 8 feed
efficiency traits and other traits of economic interest including weight at selection (WS), loin …

The characterisation of the small ruminant populations in developing countries will play a
major role in the maintenance of the genetic resources as the basis for future improvement …

Simple Summary Knowledge of genetic parameters is essential to obtain breeding values in
order to increase the response to selection and incorporate novel traits in designing a …

Background Positively correlated with carcass weight and animal growth, the ribeye area
(REA) and the backfat thickness (BFT) are economic important carcass traits, which impact …
