The effect of genotype x environment interaction on body weight at birth (BW), weaning (W205), 12 (W365) and 18 (W550) months of age of Nellore cattle raised in the regions of Alto Taquari, Campo Grande and Pantanal, MS, Brazil, was studied. The data were analyzed for each region separately and for all regions together. Variance and covariance components and genetic parameters were estimated by the restricted maximum likelihood method, using an animal model that included the random additive direct effect, […]
