Carcass traits of Nellore, F1 Simmental × Nellore and F1 Angus × Nellore steers fed at maintenance or ad libitum with two concentrate levels in the diet [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2011 This trial was conducted to evaluate the quantitative carcass traits of Nellore, F1 Simmental × Nellore and F1 Angus × Nellore steers fed at maintenance level or ad libitum with 1% and 2% of the body weight in concentrate. The animals were allotted to the treatments in a completely randomized experimental design, in a 3 × 3 factorial arrangement.

Voluntary intake of dry matter and performance of Nellore cows and their Nellore and crossbred Simental × Nellore calves [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2011 This study aimed to investigate the influence of calf genetic group on the performance of Nellore lactating cows. The variables studied included milk ingestion, pasture intake, calf weight gain and cow body weight. A total of 13 Nellore calves and 8 crossbred Simental × Nellore calves were used, all born from Nellore mothers.

Evaluation of Multi-Breed Genomic Prediction Models for Carcass and Reproductive Traits in Zebu Beef Cattle. [PDF]
Anim GenetABSTRACT Genomic prediction in beef cattle is particularly challenging in breeds with limited phenotypic and genotypic data. In this context, multi‐breed methodologies that integrate information from genetically related populations have emerged as a promising strategy to improve prediction accuracy and calibration under data‐scarce conditions.

Genetic Associations of Functional Longevity With Sexual Precocity and Growth Traits in Nellore Beef Cattle. [PDF]
J Anim Breed GenetABSTRACT Functional longevity (FL) is a complex trait that integrates many attributes directly contributing to the successful retention and productivity of a cow within the herd. Consequently, improving FL in beef cattle increases herd profitability. This study aimed to estimate the genetic associations between two alternative FL definitions and traits
