Incorporating body measurement traits to increase genetic gain of feed efficiency and carcass traits in Japanese Black steers

The objective of the present study was to comprehensively evaluate whether body measurement traits, including body weight and body size, could be used as indicators of genetic selection for feed efficiency and carcass traits in Japanese Black steers. First, we estimated the genetic parameters for bo...
