Insights into the genetic variation of maternal behavior and suckling performance of continental beef cows

Our objective was to evaluate the major sources of additive genetic variation in maternal behavior and suckling performance in two genetically close beef breeds. METHODS: Maternal performance was assessed based on ma...
