Genetic aspects of growth and maturing rate in trypanotolerant beef cattle: N'Dama

Genetic Aspects of Calving, Growth, and Carcass Traits in Beef Cattle

Genetic Improvement of Reproduction in Beef Cattle

Reproduction is a key profit driver in beef cattle production systems around the world. However genetic evaluation for reproduction traits is generally limited or non-existent. This is likely a function of low levels of recording reproduction traits, and low heritabilities. Traditional BLUP based genetic evaluations have been used effectively in beef for generating estimated breeding values and...

Genetic Aspects of Marbling in Beef Carcasses

INTRODUCTION: The goal of this paper is to review the genetic aspects of marbling in beef carcasses and to serve as a reference source. It is not meant to be an exhaustive review of the literature in regard to all relationships involving marbling with other production and carcass traits. However, it is meant to review several of the major studies around the world that could have direct genetic ...

Beef symposium: the evolution of beef cattle genetic evaluation.

During the 100-yr history of the American Society of Animal Science, there have been many tools that have been offered to the beef producers of the world. Advancements in reproductive and nutritional technologies have had major impacts on how cattle are managed. However, the advent of beef performance recording and the subsequent advancements in methodology for genetic evaluations and applicati...
