Genomic and phenotypic selection indices for decreased birth weight, shortening fattening period, and regulating total weight gain in beef cattle

Genomic and phenotypic selection indices for decreased birth weight, shortening fattening period, and regulating total weight gain in beef cattle

Objective This study aimed to develop genomic and phenotypic indices for beef cattle selection that afford progeny with reduced birth weight and fattening period. The indices should also allow regulating total weight gain during the fattening period and avoid marked increases of inbreeding. Methods...
