Abstract excerpt
Sustainable beef production requires identifying animals with superior feed efficiency to reduce environmental impact and production costs. This study aimed to estimate heritability and genetic correlations between residual gain (RG) and growth, reproductive, carcass and feed efficiency traits in Nellore cattle. A total of 217,333 phenotypic records from animals born between 1980 and 2024, raised in diverse...
