For YWT and BWT at 24 months of age, they were adjusted by a linear growth function of average daily gain through multiplying days and average daily gain from weight at 6 mo and 18 mo measures, respectively.
In this study, the average of YWT (350.00 [+ or -] 39.79kg), CWT (340.97 [+ or -] 39.79 kg), and BFT (8.6[+ or -]3.74 mm), and their CV estimates were greatly similar to those reported by Choi et al [9], though our obtained phenotypic ranges were slightly greater than their reports.
Season of birth had a significant effect on
YWT; however its effect on 6WT and 9WT was non-significant.
Two fixed effects were fitted in the models: year and season of birth (5 levels) for all the traits and region where the steers were born (41 levels) for WWT, YWT, and Marb, and a covariate was fitted; weaning age for WWT, yearling age for YWT, slaughter age for CWT, BFT, and LMA, was also fitted.
A total of 92 (37) significant SNPs were detected at 5% ChW (GW) level; 18 (0), 15 (3), 12 (8), 15 (18), 11 (7), and 21 (1) SNPs for WWT, YWT CWT, BFT, LMA, and Marb respectively (Table 3).
Six traits for growth and meat quality were chosen: weaning weight (WWT), 365-d yearling weight (
YWT), CWT after slaughter, backfat thickness (BFT), LMA, and marbling score (Marb).

All levels of garlic supplementation groups recorded similar egg weight (Ewt), yolk weight (
Ywt), shell weight (Swt), and albumen weight (Awt); however, they surpassed what registered by the control-fed group.

On Sunday the farm, managed by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (
YWT), put on a series of family activities to raise awareness of the decline of the barn owl.
Now Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (
