Heritabilities and genetic correlations for postweaning growth and feed intake of beef bulls and steers.

Journal of animal science - 1 Aug 1991

MacNeil M D, Bailey D R, Urick J J, Gilbert R P, Reynolds W L

Abstract excerpt

Data from studies conducted at Miles City, MT and Lethbridge, AB were pooled to evaluate genetic and environmental variation in feed intake (MEI), growth rate (ADG), MEI-to-gain ratio (M/G), final weight (FWT), and fat thickness (FAT). A total of 124 sires with an average of 4.25 progeny each were represented in the data. Restricted maximum likelihood methods were used to estimate within and between paternal...
