Abstract

The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters and breeding value for SEUROP carcass traits (carcass weight – CW, carcass conformation class – CCC and carcass fatness class – CFC) for beef cattle in Czech Republic. A multivariate animal model was used to estimate genetic parameters. The estimated heritabilities were 0,22 for CW, 0,11 for CCC and 0,12 for CFC.
