1. Genetic parameters, genetic trends, and principal component analysis for productive and reproductive traits of Guzera beef cattle
ABSTRACT The objectives of this study were to estimate genetic parameters and genetic trends and perform principal component analysis for the following traits: body weight adjusted at 210 days of age (W210), one year (W365), and yearling or 450 days of age (W450); weight gain from birth to weaning or 210 days of age (WGBW), from weaning to 365 days of age (W

2. Heritability estimation and genetic correlations for mature weight, visual scores, and growth traits in Nellore cattle
ABSTRACT This study was intended to estimate the genetic associations between growth traits and visual scores with possible changes in mature weight (MW) in 397,900 Nellore animals. A bi-character analysis was performed to estimate the (co)variances and genetic parameters for MW, which comprises the following traits: conformation, finishing precocity, muscul

3. Environmental effects on performance of progeny from different Nellore sires in Brazilian semiarid region
RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência dos fatores ambientais sobre o desempenho das progénies de diferentes touros da raça Nelore no semiárido brasileiro. Informações de 741 animais foram coletadas de uma fazenda comercial localizada no municipio de Varzelândia-MG. Os animais eram filhos de 27 touros da raça Nelore e eram categori

4. Estimação de parâmetros genéticos para características de pesos e pesos metabólicos na desmama e pós-desmama em bovinos Brahman
RESUMO Objetivou-se estimar herdabilidades e correlações de características ponderais com 36.505 animais, da Associação Brasileira de Criadores Zebu. O modelo incluiu efeito genético direto, materno, ambiente permanente, residual - aleatórios e efeitos de grupos contemporâneos - fixos. Os parâmetros foram estimados pelo método de máxima verossimil

5. Direct and maternal annual genetic changes for selected traits at weaning and yearling in beef cattle
ABSTRACT. Heritability and direct and maternal genetic changes were estimated in Nellore cattle for the following traits: birth to weaning weight gain (BWG), weaning to yearling weight gain (YWG), weaning conformation (WC), weaning precocity (WP), weaning muscling (WM), yearling conformation (YC), yearling precocity (YP), yearling muscling (YM) and yearling

6. Exogenous enzymes improve performance and carcass traits of feedlot cattle fed high-grain diet
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementation of two different enzymatic complexes, fibrolytic (NSPases) or amylolytic (EXP3066) enzymes, on growth performance, digestibility, behavior, and carcass characteristics of feedlot cattle. Thirty-six ½ Angus yearling bulls with an average initial weight of 391±5.0 kg were use

7. Feedlot performance, feeding behavior and rumen morphometrics of Nellore cattle submitted to different feeding frequencies
ABSTRACT: Owing to the lack of information in the literature about the ideal feeding frequency adopted by feedlot systems, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of different feeding frequencies on performance, carcass traits, feeding behavior and rumen morphometrics of Nellore cattle. Forty-eight yearling bulls were housed in individual pens with an

8. Genome-wide association study for birth, weaning and yearling weight in Colombian Brahman cattle
Abstract Genotypic and phenotypic data of 1,562 animals were analyzed to find genomic regions that potentially influence the birth weight (BW), weaning weight at seven months of age (WW) and yearling weight (YW) of Colombian Brahman cattle, with genotyping conducted using Illumina Bead chip array with 74,669 SNPs. A Single Step Genomic BLUP (ssGBLP), approac

9. Genetic parameters of age at first calving, weight gain, and visual scores in Nelore heifers
ABSTRACT This study aimed at estimating the heritability of age at first calving and of performance traits included in the selection index and the genetic correlations between age at first calving and these performance traits. Data were extracted from the Conexão Delta G database and only data from herds in which heifers were bred younger than 24 months of

10. Selection for higher body weight in Nelore cattle is effective in achieving an increase of longissimus muscle area without reducing subcutaneous fat thickness
The objectives of this study were to estimate heritabilities and genetic and phenotypic correlations between carcass traits measured by ultrasound and other economically important traits generally used as selection criteria in beef cattle and to estimate the genetic changes in the carcass traits as a result of selection for post-yearling weight. Carcass trai

11. Natural and improved pastures on growth and reproductive performance of Hereford heifers
This study evaluated yearling growth and reproductive performance of Hereford heifers at 24-26 months of age grazing on natural pastures at two stocking rates during winter and spring, associated or not to improved natural pastures. Heifers were classified according to three weight groups (Light, Medium and Heavy) and randomly distributed into four feeding m

12. Levels of ground corn supplied to beef heifers at pasture during the rainy season: productive performance, intake, digestibility and microbial efficiency
The objective was to evaluate the effect of four levels of ground corn supply on nutritional parameters, microbial synthesis efficiency and growing performance of beef heifers, at the rainy season. For such, 28 crossbred yearling heifers, with initial age of 16-17 months and initial weight of 255 ± 31.0 kg were distributed into five paddoks of B. decumbens,
