Genetic and environmental effects on scores of conformation, precocity and muscling in long yearling Nellore cattle

Genetic and environmental effects on scores of conformation, precocity and muscling in long yearling Nellore cattle

The visual scores for conformation (C), precocity (P) and muscle (M) are used to indirectly assess traits related to termination and carcass composition. This study analyzes how age of dam at calving (AC), long yearling age (YA) and long yearling weight (YW) of the animal affect the scores of Nello...
