Genetic evaluation models for resistance to ticks in a crossbred Angus-Nellore population

Genetic evaluation models for resistance to ticks in a crossbred Angus-Nellore population

ABSTRACT: This research identified the animal model that best describes the genetic and residual variations for tick counts in yearlings from a crossbred Angus-Nellore population of 6,951 animals that are progenies of 382 bulls and 6,198 cows. Genetic values were predicted by the Bayesian inference...
