Abstract: | Decreasing gestation length (GL) has been shown to reduce calving difficulties and help maintain an annual calving pattern (Jeyaruban et al. 2016). Although a simple trait by definition currently it is only recorded for animals mated by Artificial Insemination (AI), and this limits the available number of records. There have been no recent genetic parameters estimates for tropical breeds in Australia, and very few available estimates elsewhere. The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic and non-genetic effects for GL in northern Australia beef breeds. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | NBRUC 2019: Northern Beef Research Update Conference, Brisbane, Australia, 19th - 22nd August, 2019 | Source of Publication: | Northern Beef Research Update Conference: Bush to bright lights - Conference program, p. 133-133 | Publisher: | North Australia Beef Research Council | Place of Publication: | Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300305 Animal reproduction and breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 100401 Beef cattle | HERDC Category Description: | E3 Extract of Scholarly Conference Publication |
