Abstract excerpt
Our study aimed to evaluate the frame size as a genetic selection criterion as well as the association of scores with carcass characteristics measured via ultrasound to the genetic improvement of carcass quality in Nellore cattle. The variance components were estimated using the restricted maximum likelihood method for the thoracic perimeter (TP), frame size score (FRAME), yearling weight (YW), visual scores of...
