Genetic parameters of growth, feed intake, feed conversion and carcass composition of dual-purpose bulls in performance testing.

Journal of animal science - 1 Mar 1991

Jensen J, Mao I L, Andersen B B, Madsen P

Abstract excerpt

Genetic parameters for growth, total energy intake, feed conversion ratio, average daily energy intake and carcass composition were estimated in an experiment with 650 bull calves from 31 half-sib groups of Holstein Friesian or Brown Swiss sires. All traits analyzed had an amount of additive genetic variance that allows for considerable response to selection. No interaction between genotype (sire group) and...
