Sources of genetic variation for milk production in a crossbred herd in the tropics
Crossbreeding parameters and variance components were estimated for lactation and reproductive traits of crosses between the Sahiwal, Brown Swiss and Ayrshire breeds in a dairy herd in sub-humid coastal Kenya. An individual animal model was fitted to the data with a fixed effect for 20 distinct bree...
