Crossbreeding Ayrshire, Friesian, and Sahiwal cattle for milk yield and preweaning traits of progeny in the semiarid tropics of Kenya
Individual and maternal additive genetic and heterotic effects were estimated for preweaning, reproductive, and lactation traits of the Sahiwal breed and its crosses with Bos taurus (Ayrshire and Friesian). The individual additive genetic breed effect influenced all cow traits except annual milk yie...
