Genetic parameters for production and feeding behaviour traits in crossbred steers fed a finishing diet at different ages
Because cattle can be raised postweaning under several feeding regimes, this study examined the consistency of phenotypic and genetic parameters of some production and feeding behaviour traits between two feeding periods that beef cattle received a finisher diet. Crossbred steers (n = 851) were used...
