Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of frame size and body condition score on performance of Brahman cattle.
TL;DR: Small and medium FS females reached puberty at an earlier age, calved earlier, and had greater calving, survival, and weaning rates, as well as greater kilograms of calf produced per cow exposed than the large FS females.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of genetic parameters for scrotal circumference, age at puberty in heifers, and hip height in Brahman cattle
TL;DR: Estimates of genetic parameters indicate a favorable genetic relationship between SC in Brahman bulls and AP in Brah man heifers under subtropical conditions and there was also evidence that selecting Brahman Bulls for HH would not adversely affect SC but would have some detrimental effect on AP in female progeny.
Journal ArticleDOI
Covariance components and prediction for additive and nonadditive preweaning growth genetic effects in an Angus-Brahman multibreed herd.
Mauricio A. Elzo,D. L. Wakeman +1 more
TL;DR: The results showed that it is feasible to evaluate sires for additive and nonadditive genetic effects in a structured multibreed population and data from purebred breeders and commercial producers will be needed to accomplish the same goal at a national level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multibreed Sire Evaluation Procedures within a Country
Journal ArticleDOI
Additive and nonadditive genetic variability for growth traits in the Turipaná Romosinuano-Zebu multibreed herd.
TL;DR: Estimates of genetic variation and predictions of expected progeny differences showed that Romosinuano animals competed well against Zebu and RZ crossbred animals under the tropical environmental conditions at Turipaná.
