Resumen:

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of including RFI and calf survival in the breeding objective simultaneously with the implementation of genomic selection. This was quantified in the current UK maternal breeding programs and in an alternative young bull program in terms of the economic benefit and GHG emissions at the whole beef industry level.
