Abstract excerpt
This study evaluated genotype × environment interactions (G×E) in Nellore cattle for growth, reproductive, and carcass traits using reaction norm models. We analyzed the records of body weight and scrotal circumference at 12 and 18 months. (W365, W450, SC365, SC450), as well as loin eye area (LEA) and subcutaneous fat thickness (SFT), from herds across different Brazilian states were analyzed. A hierarchical...
