Estimating the heritability of nitrogen and carbon isotopes in the tail hair of beef cattle.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 3 Jan 2024

Moradi Morteza, Warburton Christie L, Porto-Neto Laercio Ribeiro, Silva Luis F P

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The natural abundance of nitrogen (δ15N) and carbon (δ13C) isotopes in animal tissues are used to estimate an animal's efficiency in nitrogen utilization, and their feed conversion efficiency, especially in tropical grazing systems with prolonged protein restriction. It is postulated that selection for improving these two characteristics (δ15N and δ13C) would assist the optimisation of the adaptation...
