摘要: In this study, we analyzed data from 2992 cows to comprehensively evaluate the adult weight (WEI), a key growth and body-size indicator, in West China cattle, aiming to estimate the related phenotypic and genetic parameters. The analysis focused on four weight traits while considering non-genetic factors such as parity, season, year, and birth weight. Data were processed and corrected using a MIXED procedure and a multi-trait animal model. Results showed that these non-genetic factors significantly affected the weight traits (p < 0.05), which had high heritability (0.25–0.39) (p < 0.01). WEI is crucial for improving the genetic traits of cattle in western China and provides innovative approaches for optimizing herd management, enhancing the efficiency of genetic selection, and boosting beef cattle productivity.
