Abstract excerpt
Heifer early calving (HC) plays a key role in beef cattle herds' economic sustainability and profitability by reducing production costs and generation intervals. However, the genetic basis of HC in Nelore heifers at different ages remains to be well understood. In this study, we aimed to perform a multi-trait weighted single-step genome-wide association (MT w-ssGWAS) to uncover the genetic mechanism involved in...
