Genetic parameter estimates and response to selection for weight and testicular traits in Nelore cattle

F. R. Araujo Neto, Lôbo, R. B., Mota, M. D. S., and Oliveira, H. N., Genetic parameter estimates and response to selection for weight and testicular traits in Nelore cattle, vol. 10, pp. 3127-3140, 2011.

We estimated genetic parameters for various phases of body and testicular growth until 550 days of age in Nelore cattle, using Bayesian inference, including correlation values and error estimates. Weight and scrotal records of 54,182 Nelore animals originating from 18 farms participating in the Brazilian Nelore Breeding Program (PMGRN) were included.
