This work studied the effects of age and weight on scrotal circumference (SC) of Nellore young breed bulls, and also estimated the SC correction factors (CF) for those effects. The information came from the Production Registry of the Paraguayan Nellore Breeders Association, obtained from 1986 to 1997 from 110 herds, totalling 7,458 observations. The regression coefficients that allowed the calculation of CF for SC were estimated by the least square methods. The model considered the contemporary group (animals born in […]
