Bos indicus cattle acquired very particular traits to thrive in distinct environments based on
the evolutionary adaptation process they have undergone, becoming particularly relevant for …

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 …

Principal component analysis was applied to evaluate the variability and relationships
among univariate breeding values predicted for 9 weaning and yearling traits, as well as …

The potential of an RGB-D sensor as a tool to estimate Nellore heifers' body mass and
morphometric measurements through image analysis was evaluated. An Intel RealSense …

Genome‐wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful tool to identify candidate genes and
genomic regions underlying key biological mechanisms associated with economically …

Simple Summary Genome-wide association studies attempt to understand the genetic
structure through the expression of genes that influence a given productive trait. This work …

This study evaluated the effects of prenatal nutrition on body weight (BW), average daily
gain (ADG), rump fat thickness (RFT), backfat thickness (BFT), ribeye area (REA), muscle …

The objective of this study was to estimate and describe phenotypic traits for carcass and
meat quality in Nellore cattle belonging to the breeding programs. Data from 718 Nellore …

Our objectives were to estimate genetic parameters for male and female reproductive traits
and their genetic correlations with body weight and carcass traits, evaluate the genetic …
