Key Points

This study evaluates how introducing Angus into Charolais and Nellore crossbreeding affects calf performance.
67 calves born in 2021 were assigned to four genetic treatment groups.
Calves included Charolais predominance, Nellore predominance, and F1 Angus-cross with either Charolais or Nellore.
Calves were monitored from birth to seven months of age.
Incorporating Angus improved calf performance metrics, though specific data were not provided.
Calves with Angus genes showed increased growth rates compared to purebred counterparts.
Additional benefit metrics were not detailed.
