Gaillard, C., 1977: Results of progeny testing for meat in 1974/75. Mitteilungen des Schweizerischen Verbandes fur Kunstliche Besamung und der Schweizerischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Kunstliche Besamung 15(2): 45-48
During the year, 156 sires were progeny-tested for meat production in Switzerland, based on 2701 male progeny. They included 37 Swiss Browns (SB) and 56 Simmental sires. The direct sire method of comparison (BLUP) was used. For SBs, the net daily gain of bull progeny aged 418 days at slaughter was 614 g v 513 for steer progeny aged 473 days at slaughter.
