Genetic Relationships Between Residual Gain and Economically Important Traits in Nellore Cattle
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 5, Page 658-666, September 2026.ABSTRACT 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.

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S2, September 2026.ABSTRACT Bovine embryo transfer (ET) has been a consistently growing market worldwide with in vitro produced (IVP) embryos now far outnumbering those produced by traditional superovulation. Because transfer of a viable blastocyst‐stage embryo to the uterus bypasses many of the potential biological causes of early pregnancy failure associated with ...
