An important goal in animal breeding is to improve longitudinal traits; that is, traits recorded
multiple times during an individual's lifetime or physiological cycle. Longitudinal traits were …

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 perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to
detect chromosome regions associated with indicator traits of sexual precocity in Nellore …

The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for scrotal circumference at 365
(SC365) and 450 (SC450) days of age, age at first calving (AFC), ribeye area (REA), backfat …

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 …

The female reproductive performance, productivity and size are strongly associated with
production efficiency of herds raised in a tropical environment. The age at first calving (AFC) …

This study estimated the genetic variability and correlations between growth and
reproductive traits in Nelore cattle. Annual genetic changes in female reproductive traits …

The size and body condition of cows can affect their reproductive efficiency. However, few
studies reported genetic correlations between these traits in beef cattle. Thus, we estimated …

The objectives of this study were to estimate genetic parameters and genetic trends and
perform principal component analysis for the following traits: body weight adjusted at 210 …

This study aimed to estimate the genetic parameters of milk (305-day milk yield (MY305)),
growth (weaning weight (WW), yearling weight (YW), and weight at 550 days (W550)), and …
