Genetic evaluation of the ratio of calf weaning weight to cow weight.

Journal of animal science - 1 Apr 2005

MacNeil M D

Abstract excerpt

The phenotypic ratio of a calf's weaning weight to its dam's weight is thought to be an indicator of efficiency of the cow. Thus, the objectives of this research were to 1) estimate genetic parameters for the ratio of 200-d calf weight to mature-equivalent cow weight at weaning, its components, and other growth traits; and 2) evaluate responses to selection based on the ratio. Phenotypes evaluated were the ratio...
