Informations of 7986 births of animals from a Nellore cattle herd, from 1960 to 1993, were used to estimate (co) variance components, heritabilities and genetic correlations of weaning weight (W240), yearling weight (W365), age at first calving (AFC), first calving interval (CI1), reproductive efficiency (RE), longevity (LONG), calculated as years of permanence of cow in herd and weaning weight of the first calf of cow (W240C). The analysis were performed using the MTDFREML software, estimating the (co) variance components by […]
