Breeding objectives for the Boran breed in Kenya: model development and application to pasture-based production systems
Bio-economic profit models were developed and applied to evaluate biological and economic variables that characterize production systems utilizing the Boran breed. Production systems were described according to their sale age (24 months short-fed or 36 months long-fed), levels of input (low, medium...
