The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for female mature weight
(FMW), age at first calving (AFC), weight gain from birth to 120 days (WG_B_120), from 210 …

Cow milk yield is a critical component for the growth of the calves in the preweaning period.
The genetic correlation between direct weaning weight and milk yield traits may cause a …

This study was conducted in Badri cattle using a double digest restriction-site associated
DNA sequencing approach. The study aimed to identify and annotate high confidence single …

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) …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of genotype× environment interaction (G× E)
on age at first calving (AFC), scrotal circumference (SC), and yearling weight (YW) and to …

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 …

With regard to potential applications of genomic selection in small numbered breeds, we
evaluated genomic models and focused on potential candidate gene annotations for weight …

Reducing age at first calving (AFC) has been a challenge in beef herds. There is anecdotal
evidence that herd owners choose to calve heifers older because of the perceived …

Reproductive and growth performance are major factors affecting the efficiency of beef
production. The objectives of this study were to estimate genetic parameters for five cow …
