Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the impact of different genetic groups and nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) diets on the carcass and meat quality of beef heifers.
- The research involved 40 heifers (20 A × N and 20 C × N) fed two types of NPN diets (livestock urea and protected urea vs. extruded urea) and assessed various meat characteristics.
- The results showed that A × N heifers had superior carcass qualities, including higher carcass weights and lower shear forces, while C × N heifers had meat with a better fatty acid profile.

Our objective was to use measures of intake and productive performance to adjust prediction models for the carcass traits of non-castrated Nellore cattle finished in a feedlot. Individual data from 168 non-castrated male Nellore steers finished in feedlot between the years 2016-2021 were used. Descriptive statistical analyzes and Pearson correlation coefficients were performed.

The objective of this study was to understand and predict the intake and performance of Nellore cattle finished in the feedlot. Individual data from 144 non-castrated male Nellore steers finished in the feedlot between the years 2016 and 2020 were used. Descriptive statistical analyses and Pearson's correlation were performed.
