Inclusion of genomic information in estimation of genetic parameters for body weights and visual scores in Nelore cattle

The aim of this study was to evaluate genomic information inclusion in genetic parameter estimation standardized body weight at birth and 240, 365, 450 days age, visual scores for structure, precocity, muscularity, measured as yearlings Nelore cattle. We compared parameters, (co)variance components (estimated from Bayesian inference Gibbs sampling), breeding value accuracies, trends, principal component analysis (PCA) obtained through traditional GBLUP ssGBLUP methods. For all traits [...]
