Effects of breed exoticness and agroecological zones on selected production and fertility traits in multibreed dairy cattle in Kenya
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of degree of exoticness of multi-breed dairy cattle on production and fertility traits in 3 different agroecological zones of Kenya. Test-day milk yield (MY) records (n = 62321) together with fertility-trait records on age at first calving (AFC) (n =...
