Genetic change results from selection on an economic breeding objective in beef cattle.

Journal of animal science - 1 Dec 2008

Enns R M, Nicoll G B

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to evaluate and quantify the genetic progress achieved in a New Zealand Angus nucleus herd through long-term selection for an economically based, multi-trait breeding objective. A 4-trait breeding objective was implemented in 1976 and selected on through 1993 with traits consisting of slaughter weight and dressing percentage of harvest progeny and cull cows, and the number of...
