ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to infer genetic (co) variance components and to estimate parity‐specific breeding values for the female fertility traits non‐return rate after 56 days, the interval from calving to first service and days open by applying random regression models on a time‐dependent parity scale. In this regard, we considered a

ABSTRACT The ability of ruminants to mobilise and restore body reserves (BR) over time, referred to as BR dynamics, is currently considered an interesting biological component to be included in breeding programs targeting enhanced BR resilience. However, genetic studies of proxies for BR levels and BRD remain scarce, particularly in small ruminants ...

Genetic Parameters for Novel Feedlot Profitability‐Related Traits in Nelore Cattle
ABSTRACT This study aimed to estimate (co)variance components and genetic parameters for accumulated profitability (AFP) and profit per kilogram of liveweight gain (PFT), and their relationships with weight at 450 days of age (W450), scrotal circumference at 365 days of age (SC365), age at first calving (AFC), probability of precocious calving at 30 ...

Genomic Analysis of Inbreeding Depression on Productive Traits in Rubia Galega Beef Cattle Breed
ABSTRACT In autochthonous livestock breeds with small populations, such as the Rubia Galega from Galicia (Spain), mating between relatives is common and can lead to inbreeding depression. Genomic inbreeding coefficients were estimated for 4984 animals using ~63,000 SNPs to assess inbreeding depression in four key traits: age at first calving (AFC) with
