Definition of breeding objectives and optimum crossbreeding levels for goats in the smallholder production systems
The objective of this study was to define breeding objectives and consequently determine optimum crossbreeding levels for goats in the smallholder production systems. Profits and economic values (EVs) were estimated for four genotypes namely (a) original stock or local goat breeds with 0% German Alp...
