Genetic parameters for a maternal breeding goal in beef production.

Journal of animal science - 1 Oct 2005

Roughsedge T, Amer P R, Thompson R, Simm G

Abstract excerpt

New maternal breeding values have been developed for use in UK beef evaluations. To undertake multitrait BLUP evaluations, it is necessary to have a full covariance matrix. This study outlines the approach taken to construct the full covariance matrices for the four beef breeds that most widely contribute to suckler beef cows in the United Kingdom. The maternal traits investigated were age at first calving,...
