Estimation of genetic and phenotypic parameters for ultrasound and carcass merit traits in crossbred beef cattle
Download2014
Bruce, H. L., Plastow, G. S., Moore, S. S., Wang, Z., Nkrumah, D., Miar, Y., Durunna, O.
Ultrasound measurements of 852 crossbred steers along with carcass merit measurements on 756 of them were used to examine their genetic and phenotypic parameters. Traits including ultrasound backfat thickness (UBF), ultrasound ribeye area (UREA), ultrasound marbling (UMAR), carcass weight (CWT),...
