Body condition score of Nellore beef cows: a heritable measure to improve the selection of reproductive and maternal traits.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 Aug 2015

Abstract excerpt

Despite the economic importance of beef cattle production in Brazil, female reproductive performance, which is strongly associated with production efficiency, is not included in the selection index of most breeding programmes due to low heritability and difficulty in measure. The body condition score (BCS) could be used as an indicator of these traits. However, so far little is known about the feasibility of...
