Additive and non-additive genetic effects, genetic group and breeding system on carcass metric characteristics of steers originated from Charolais x Nellore rotational crossbreeding

Additive and non-additive genetic effects, genetic group and breeding system on carcass metric characteristics of steers originated from Charolais x Nellore rotational crossbreeding

Carcass, leg and arm lengths of 876 steers originated from rotational crossbreeding between Charolais (C) and Nellore (N) breeds were evaluated. Two models were used in the analyses. In Model I, genetic effects were represented by breeding system - SA and genetic group nested within SA - GG(SA), be...
