Abstract excerpt
Knowledge of genetic parameters is required to select for optimal yield of primal cuts that may be used as the selection criteria for designing future breeding programs. This study aimed to estimate the heritability, as well as genetic and phenotypic correlations of primal cut lean and fat tissue components, and carcass traits in Canadian crossbred beef cattle. All tissue component traits presented a medium to...
