Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to compare growth from birth to slaughter of different breed groups that were raised in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and estimate the consequent breed additive and heterosis effects. Caracu (C), Hereford (H), and Nelore (N) sires were mated with Angus (A) dams, and A sires were mated with H and N dams to produce a first generation of crossbred progeny that was contemporary with...
