Maternal effects on the genetic evaluation of Tabapuã beef cattle

Maternal effects on the genetic evaluation of Tabapuã beef cattle

The aim of this investigation was to study the influence of maternal effects on the genetic evaluation of sire production in Tabapuã beef cattle. Single and multiple trait analyses were done with adjusted animal weights at 120, 240 and 420 days of age. Antagonism was observed between additive direct...
