Abstract excerpt
Longevity is a highly important trait to the efficiency of beef cattle production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genomic prediction of longevity and identify genomic regions associated with this trait. The data used in this study consisted of 547 Composite Gene Combination cows (1/2 Red Angus, 1/4 Charolais, 1/4 Tarentaise) born from 2002 to 2011 genotyped with Illumina BovineSNP50 BeadChip....
