Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of commercial DNA tests for quantitative beef quality traits.
A. L. Van Eenennaam,J. Li,R. M. Thallman,R.L. Quaas,Michael E. Dikeman,Clare A. Gill,D.E. Franke,Milt Thomas +7 more
TL;DR: Associations between 3 commercially available genetic marker panels and quantitative beef traits were validated by the US National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium to be the independent confirmation of the associations between genetic tests and phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prepartum body condition and weight influences on reproductive performance of first-calf beef cows.
S.M. DeRouen,D.E. Franke,D. G. Morrison,W. E. Wyatt,D.F. Coombs,T.W. White,P. E. Humes,B B Greene +7 more
TL;DR: Prepartum changes in BCS and BW regulated by varying energy levels had no effect (P > .05) on postpartum reproduction; however, BCS at calving influenced (P < .03) pregnancy rate and days to pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic parameters for growth and carcass traits of Brahman steers.
TL;DR: The magnitude of heritability estimates suggests that improvement in carcass yield, carcass quality, and consumer acceptance traits can be made within the Brahman population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct and maternal genetic effects on birth and weaning traits in multibreed cattle data and predicted performance of breed crosses.
TL;DR: Predicted average daily gain, 205-d weight, and weaning weight per cow exposed were, on average, greater in four-breed rotation systems than in three- and two- breed systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of brahman-derivative breeds and Angus on carcass traits, physical composition, and palatability.
TL;DR: There were no differences in shear force for steaks aged for 3 d for any of the breed types, but with 10 d of aging, steaks from Angus steers were more tender, possibly indicating that steaks of Brahman-derivative breeds aged at a slower rate than those from Angus.
