Records of body weight at selection of Nelore cattle pertaining to the Sertãozinho’s Experimental Station (SP-Brasil) Nelore herds were used to study the influence of the incorporation of additional information on the estimation of annual genetic trend by least squares and mixed model methodologies. The genetic changes in all three Nelore herds (control-NeC and selected-NeS and NeT) or only in the selected ones (NeS and NeT) were estimated, only for the females, by least squares, by mixed model including their […]
