Genetic parameters of aggressiveness, ferocity and mobility in the fighting bull breed
Open accessAbstract
Genetic parameter estimates for Aggressiveness, Ferocity and Mobility in the fighting bull bovine breed were obtained using the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) methodology applied to a multiple trait animal model.The year of birth and the sex of the animal were the environmental fixed effects considered in the model.Genetic trends were determined from the average predicted breeding value over the year of birth.The behavioural traits considered showed an important additive genetic component which can be used to modulate the phenotype expression by selection.Heritability values around 0.3 (0.286-0.362) for all traits could explain the successful empirical selection carried out on the Aggressiveness trait.Similarly, the lack of genetic correlation (P > 0.05) between all traits explains the absence of a correlated response for the Ferocity and Mobility traits.

Lidia bovines belong to a primitive population selected for centuries to develop agonistic-aggressive responses, with moderate to high heritability estimates for the Lidia breed (0.20-0.36).
“Lidia bovines belong to a primitive population, selected for centuries to develop agonistic-aggressive responses by means of a series of traits that are registered by breeders on a categorical scale, which classifies aggression and fighting capacity, reporting moderate to high heritability estimates for the Lidia (0.20–0.36) [14, 15].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
