Although the large data sets combining birth and placental weights, maternal and postnatal
nutrition, and health records are sparse for food animals, many controlled studies have …

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 …

Abstract In this study, 252,798 lactations on 108,077 cows in 433 herds were used to
determine the association between gestation length (GL) and lactation performance …

ABSTRACT A data set including 57,868 records for calf birth weight (CABW) and 9,462
records for weight at first insemination (IBW) were used for the estimation of direct and …

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 …

Simple Summary Hanwoo cattle is considered one of the most economically important
species and sources of nutrition for Koreans. Thus, both the reproductive performance and …

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 …

This study evaluated the productive and reproductive performance of Charolais cows with
different body mass index (BMI) at calving and the development of their calves. Seventy-two …

Human epidemiological studies worldwide have provided convincing support for the
concept of developmental programming. The concept of developmental programming was …
