Validation of a beef cattle maternal breeding objective based on a cross-sectional analysis of a large national cattle database.

Journal of animal science - 1 Nov 2020

Twomey Alan J, Cromie Andrew R, McHugh Noirin, Berry Donagh P

Abstract excerpt

Despite the importance of validating any technology prior to recommendation for use, few studies exist in the scientific literature which have demonstrated the superior performance of high-ranking animals in a given total merit index; this is especially true for maternal cattle selection indexes. The objective of the present study was to demonstrate the impact of the Irish total merit maternal-based index and...
