Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to evaluate the changes in variance components over time to identify a subset of data from the Italian Simmental (IS) population that would yield the most appropriate estimates of genetic parameters and breeding values for beef traits to select young bulls. Data from bulls raised between 1986 and 2017 were used to estimate genetic parameters and breeding values for four beef traits (average daily...
