The effect of heterosis and genetic group on the distribution of internal and trim fat and, external components of the body of purebred, Charolais (C) and Nellore (N), and crossbred steers from second (G2) (¾C ¼N and ¾N ¼C), third (G3) (5/8C 3/8N and 5/8N 3/8C) and fourth (G4) (11/16C 5/16N and 11/16N 5/16C) generations of feedlot finished rotational crossbreeding were evaluated. Steers from G2 showed higher absolute weight for renal, intestinal and total fat when compared to purebreds’ average, […]
