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 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 …

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 objective of this study was to evaluate phenotypic and genetic relationships between
fertility traits and feed efficiency in male and female Nellore cattle. Data from 320 females …

Context Livestock feed costs have a higher impact on the profitability of beef production
systems and are directly related to feed efficiency. However, these traits are hard and have …

This study aimed to perform a genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) using the
Random Forest (RF) approach for scanning candidate genes for age at first calving (AFC) in …

Background Understanding the phenotypic and genetic parameter estimates of growth traits
is important for an effective livestock genetic improvement programme. Objectives In this …

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different selection practices
on the environmental sensitivity of reproductive and growth traits in males and females of …
