The investigation aimed to analyze the genetic mechanisms regulating allometric growth and differential anatomical development in Hereford cattle.
Quantitative genetic analysis evaluated morphological measurements and relative growth dimensions across developmental stages in Hereford cattle.
Statistical models assessed variance components to estimate the relative contribution of heredity to allometric growth constants.
Growth dynamics exhibit distinct genetic control across differential body proportions relative to overall body mass.
Genetic variation significantly influences the relative rates at which specific skeletal and muscular dimensions develop over time.

Kidwell et al. (1952) studied this question.
