Estimation of individual and maternal additive genetic and heterotic effects for preweaning traits of crosses of Ayrshire, Brown Swiss and Sahiwal cattle in the lowland tropics of Kenya
A total of 1443 records were used to estimate individual and maternal additive genetic breed and heterotic effects for preweaning growth and survival traits of crosses of Ayrshire (A), Brown Swiss (B), and Sahiwal (S) in a dairy herd in the lowland coastal tropics of Kenya. Individual and maternal a...
