Genetic parameters and alternatives for evaluation and ranking of Nellore young bulls in pasture performance tests
The objective of this study was to estimate (co)variance components for weight at 550 days, average daily gain and an index with both traits, and to compare alternatives for evaluation and ranking of Nellore young bulls in pasture performance tests. The heritability estimates were 0.73, 0.31 and 0.4...
