Bovine and buffalo are important livestock species that have contributed to human lives for
more than 1000 years. Improving fertility is very important to reduce the cost of production. In …

Simple Summary Reproductive performance of beef cows affects the profitability of beef
production systems. Heritability of fertility traits is generally low, which means that there is a …

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 heritabilities (h< sup> 2) and genetic and phenotypic correlations
between reproductive traits, including calving interval (CI), age at first calving (AFC) …

Simple Summary Historically, Korea has been an agrarian society where cattle played a
significant role in Korean culture as working animals. However, in recent decades, there has …

Calving interval (CI) measures the number of days between two consecutive calves of the
same cow, and previous studies based on phenotype and pedigree data reported low …

A bioeconomic model was developed to calculate the economic value (ev) of reproductive
and growth performance, feed efficiency and carcass traits of a seedstock Nellore herd. Data …

Context A frame score prediction equation developed specifically for Nellore cattle could be
an auxiliary tool to improve mating decisions on the basis of feed resources and production …

Multivariate statistical techniques were used to characterise the differences between
precocious and non-precocious Nellore females regarding the phenotypic expression of …

The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for 7 traits of Nellore, to verify
how the estimate breeding values (EBVs) of the traits are distributed in different Brazilian …
