Crossbreeding Jersey with Ghana Shorthorn and Sokoto Gudali cattle in a tropical environment: Additive and heterotic effects for milk production, reproduction and calf growth traits
Crossbreeding data involving Ghana Shorthorn, Sokoto Gudali and their Jersey F1S and backcrosses collected over a 16-year period were analysed to estimate additive and heterotic effects for milk production, reproduction and calf growth traits. Sokoto Gudali was significantly better than Ghana Shorth...
