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

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...
