J. P. Eler, Ferraz, J. B. S., Balieiro, J. C. C., and Mattos, E. C., Genetic analysis of average annual productivity of Nellore breeding cows (COWPROD), vol. 7, pp. 234-242, 2008.

With the aim of estimating the coefficient of heritability of average annual productivity of Nellore cows (COWPROD), a data set from 24,855 animals with known pedigree was analyzed. COWPROD is defined as the amount (in kilograms) of weaned calves produced yearly by one cow during her remaining time in herd ignoring a fixed period of 365 days.
