Abstract excerpt

In the double-muscled Belgian Blue beef (DM-BBB) breed, selection focuses on muscular conformation and not on weight gain and higher weight. There are very few studies on growth in the DM-BBB using field records. Therefore, farms have no available useful figures on weight at fixed ages and weight gain for the DM-BBB. This study describes and evaluates live weights of DM-BBB animals. All the data were gathered on...
