Maternal heterosis and grandmaternal effects in beef cattle: postweaning growth and carcass traits.
Crossbred steer and heifer progeny from 5-, 6- and 7-yr-old dams produced in a four-breed diallel crossing experiment involving the Brown Swiss, Red Poll, Hereford and Angus maternal grandsires and maternal granddams were evaluated for postweaning growth and carcass traits to estimate breed mean maternal heterosis, maternal heterosis for specific breed cross females, average maternal heterosis ...

متن کاملGrowth characteristics in crosses of Angus, Santa Gertrudis and Gelbvieh beef cattle.
A total of 343 calves (males and females) were evaluated for preweaning average daily gain, weaning weight (WW), feedlot average daily gain to slaughter (ADGF), slaughter weight (SW), pelvic height (PH), pelvic width, pelvic area, weaning conformation score (WS) and ratio of weaning weight to the dam's weight at weaning (R). Mating types included straight-bred Angus (A) and Santa Gertrudis (S),...
متن کاملMolecular value predictions: associations with beef quality, carcass, production, behavior, and efficiency phenotypes in Brahman cattle.
Data from 2 previously published experiments, New South Wales (NSW; n = 161) and Western Australia (WA; n = 135), were used to test molecular value predictions (MVP), generated from commercially available gene markers, on economically important traits of Bos indicus (Brahman) cattle. Favorable tenderness MVP scores were associated with reduced shear force values of strip loin (LM) steaks aged 7...
متن کاملPostweaning and feedlot growth and carcass characteristics of Angus-, gray Brahman-, Gir-, Indu-Brazil-, Nellore-, and red Brahman-sired F1 calves.
Postweaning, feedlot, and carcass data from crossbred calves sired by five Bos indicus breeds and one Bos taurus breed were evaluated. Data included records from F1 calves out of multiparous Hereford cows sired by Angus, Gray Brahman, Gir, Indu-Brazil, Nellore, and Red Brahman bulls. The Zebu crosses grew faster postweaning and were heavier and taller as yearlings than the Angus crosses (P < .0...
