Genetic trends of Mexican zebu cattle populations
In Mexico, the genetic evaluations in Zebu breeds began in 2011 and there are no studies about the genetic progress achieved. Thus, this research aimed to quantify and analyse the genetic progress for growth traits in the Mexican Zebu beef cattle ...

Genetic and phenotypic trends for growth traits of buffaloes in Brazil
The objectives this paper were to estimate genetic parameters and genetic and phenotypic trends of birth weight (BWT) and weights adjusted to 205 (WT205), 365 (WT365) and 550 (P550) days of age of beef buffaloes born from 1985 to 2003 in Brazil.

GENETIC CONTRIBUTION OF RAM ON LITTER SIZE IN ŠUMAVA SHEEP [PDF]
The objective of the present study was to quantify the service sire effect in terms of (co) variance components of born and weaned lambs number and to propose models for the potential inclusion of this effect in the linear equations for breeding value ...
