dc.description.abstract	Recent results show circulating levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) are genetically associated with growout and finishing performance of beef cattle and may prove useful as a genetic predictor of carcase and feed efficiency traits (Johnston et al. 2001). This paper presents evidence for genetic associations of IGF1 with growth, feed efficiency, fatness and maternal traits in young Angus cattle.
