It was utilized data from 188 animals from ten genetic groups. For the statistical analysis, the animals were grouped into three subgroups according to age, sex and diet. Thus, the subgroups analyzed were: 1) intacted yearling males receiving the “a” ration: 39 Nellore (N), 12 Brangus (BR), 8 1/2 Simmental – 1/2 Nellore (SN), 8 1/2 Caracu – 1/2 Nellore (CCN), 21 1/2 Valdostana – 1/2 Nellore (VAN); 2) intacted weaned males receiving the “b” diet: 12 N, 12 1/2 […]

The data utilized in this study were obtained from 23 intacted animals from three different genetic groups: seven Nellore (N), eight ½ Caracu + ¼ Angus + ¼ Nellore (CCAN) and eight ½ Caracu + ¼ Simental + ¼ Nellore (CCSN). These animals were produced as part of an ample project which is being carried out at Embrapa Gado de Corte whose main objective is to identify a genetic group that besides being adapted, is capable to produce meat of […]

This experiment was carried out for two years with the objective of evaluating the performance of genetic groups with different genetic potentials for growth, such as Nellore (N), ½ Angus – ½ Nellore (AN) and ½ Simmental – ½ Nellore (SN).This study is part of an ample project, which has as principal goal, to evaluate the efficiency of production of systems composed by animals with different mature sizes (Projeto cruzamento Embrapa 1). Using a bivariate analysis involving the variables average […]
