Due primarily to a lack of phenotypic data, little research has been undertaken on the
genetics of reproductive performance in beef cattle. The objective of this study was to …

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 …

The objective of this study was to identify genomic regions and metabolic pathways
associated with dry matter intake, average daily gain, feed efficiency and residual feed …

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 …

Background The selection of individuals based on their predicted breeding values and
mating of related individuals can increase the proportion of identical-by-descent alleles. In …

Background An important goal of Zebu breeding programs is to improve reproductive
performance. A major problem faced with the genetic improvement of reproductive traits is …

Data comprising 53,181 calving records were analyzed to estimate the genetic correlation
between days to calving (DC), and days to first calving (DFC), and the following traits: scrotal …

The objective of the study presented here was to analyze the genetic relationships among
heifer pregnancy (HP), age at first calving (AFC), stayability (STAY), average annual …

Meta-analysis based on a random-effects model is used to summarise and overcome the
variability between divergent parameter estimates. We proposed a meta-analysis of …

Feed intake and average daily gain (ADG) in Nellore cattle were determined to calculate
residual feed intake in two performance tests: first during the growth phase (RFIgrowth) and …
