Genetic parameters and relationships between heifers rebreeding and hip height in Nellore cattle

Genetic parameters and relationships between heifers rebreeding and hip height in Nellore cattle

The objective of this study was to estimate heritability and verify the genetic correlations between heifers subsequent rebreeding with weaning hip height (WHH) and yearling hip height (YHH), using Bayesian inference. The (co)variance components and genetic parameters were estimated using an animal...
