Abstract excerpt
Heritabilities of and genetic, environmental, and phenotypic correlations among serum amounts of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium and weight at weaning (WCa, WP, WMg, and WW, respectively) were estimated for an Angus (A)-Brahman(B) multibreed herd located at the Pine Acres Research Station of the University of Florida, Citra. Records were obtained from 380 calves produced by mating A, .75A .25B, .5A .5B, .25A...
