The influence of animals from embryo transfer on the genetic evaluation of growth in Simmental beef cattle by using multi-trait models
The weight records from Simmental beef cattle were used in a genetic evaluation of growth with or without the inclusion of animals obtained by embryo transfer. A multi-trait model in which embryo transfer individuals were excluded (MTM1) contained 29,510 records from 10,659 animals, while another mo...
