Title: | Genetic Analysis of Temperament and Its Relationships with Productive and Adaptive Traits in Tropical Beef Cattle | Contributor(s): | Burrow, Heather Mary (author) | Conferred Date: | 2000 | Copyright Date: | 1998 | Open Access: | Yes | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/18210 | Related DOI: | 10.1016/S0301-6226(98)00139-0 | Abstract: | "Temperament" is defined as an animal's behavioural response to handling by humans. Experiments were conducted in zebu-derived herds grazed at pasture in the dry tropics of Central Queensland, to: l)determine the best method of measuring temperament; 2)investigate whether temperament can be manipulated by genetic or non-genetic means; 3 )identify genetic and environmental factors that affect temperament; 4 )estimate relationships between temperament and productive and adaptive traits; S)calculate effects of inbreeding on temperament and productive and adaptive traits; and 6)determine responses to selection for temperament, high EBV for weight at 600 days and low EBV for rectal temperature. | Publication Type: | Thesis Doctoral | Rights Statement: | Copyright 1998 - Heather Mary Burrow | HERDC Category Description: | T2 Thesis - Doctorate by Research | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.aaabg.org/livestocklibrary/1991/ab91040.pdf |
