Reaction norms models in the adjusted weight at 550 days of age for Polled Nellore cattle in Northeast Brazil

Reaction norms models in the adjusted weight at 550 days of age for Polled Nellore cattle in Northeast Brazil

The objective of this study was to evaluate the genotype-environment interaction (GEI) in the body weight adjusted to 550 days of age (W550) of Polled Nellore cattle raised in Northeastern Brazil using reaction norms (RN) models. Hierarchical RN models included fixed effects for age of cow (linear a...
