Genetic parameter estimates for scrotal circumference and semen characteristics of Line 1 Hereford bulls.
The objectives of this study were to estimate heritability for scrotal circumference (SC) and semen traits and their genetic correlations (rg) with birth weight (BRW). Semen traits were recorded for Line 1 Hereford bulls (n = 841), born in 1963 or from 1967 to 2000, that were selected for use at Fort Keogh (Miles City, MT) or for sale. Semen was collected by electroejaculation when bulls were a...
متن کاملGrowth Rates of Hip Height, Scrotal Circumference and Weight for Purebred Hereford and Angus Bulls
Story in Brief Seasonal differences and growth rates were studied on 60 Hereford and Angus bulls born in the spring and fall calving seasons at Oklahoma State University. Hip height, scrotal circumference and weight measurements were taken over the two IO-month experiments. Season of birth had no influence on scrotal circumference for either Hereford or Angus bulls. Season of birth in Angus bul...
متن کاملEstimation of genetic parameters for scrotal circumference, age at puberty in heifers, and hip height in Brahman cattle.
Genetic parameters were estimated for scrotal circumference (SC; n=287), age at puberty in heifers (AP; n=292), and hip height in both sexes (HH; n=684) for Brahman cattle born from 1984 to 1994 at the Subtropical Agricultural Research Station, Brooksville, Florida. Age at puberty was defined as the age (days) at first detected ovulatory estrus. Measurements of SC and HH were taken at 18 mo of ...
متن کاملGenetic parameters for scrotal circumference, breeding soundness examination and sperm defects in young Nellore bulls.
A total of 51,161 records of scrotal circumference measurements at 18 mo of age (SC18) and 17,648 records of sperm defects and breeding soundness of Nellore bulls (mean age of 22.5 mo), raised under extensive conditions, were analyzed to estimate coefficients of heritability and genetic correlations of morphological semen traits by Bayesian inference. The observed semen traits were classified a...
متن کاملScrotal circumference in yearling Hereford bulls: adjustment factors, heritabilities and genetic, environmental and phenotypic relationships with growth traits.
Field data on 4,233 yearling Hereford bulls were analyzed using fixed and mixed model least-squares procedures to examine factors affecting scrotal circumference; determine appropriate adjustment factors; and study genetic, environmental and phenotypic relationships among scrotal circumference and growth traits. Scrotal circumference was affected by postweaning feed level; contemporary group/fe...
