Genetic parameters, heterosis, and breed effects for body condition score and mature cow weight in beef cattle

Andre Mauric F. Ribeiro et al.

Summary: This study analyzed a crossbred beef population to estimate the genetic relationship, heterosis, and breed effects between mature cow weight (MWT) and body condition score (BCS). The results showed that MWT and BCS are moderately genetically correlated and would respond favorably to selection. Breed differences and heterotic effects can be used in multibreed genetic evaluations for cow maintenance energy requirements.

Influence of environmental factors and genetic variation on mitochondrial DNA copy number

Leticia P. Sanglard et al.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic and non-genetic factors associated with mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA CN) in a beef cattle population, revealing that a significant portion of mtDNA CN variation is under genetic control, while non-genetic factors such as tissue type, age, and sex also play a significant role in influencing mtDNA CN.

Breed and heterotic effects for mature weight in beef cattle

Madeline J. Zimmermann et al.

Summary: The study aims to estimate breed and heterotic effects for mature weight (MWT) in crossbred cows. By analyzing weight-age data of 5,156 crossbred cows, significant direct heterosis effects on MWT and maternal heterosis effects on the growth rate k were observed. The findings suggest that incorporating MWT in cattle breed selection can impact overall profitability, with the Angus breed being heaviest at maturity.
