Direct and maternal (co)variance components and genetic parameters for growth and reproductive traits in the Boran cattle in Kenya
Direct and maternal (co)variance components and genetic parameters were estimated for growth and reproductive traits in the Kenya Boran cattle fitting univariate animal models. Data consisted of records on 4502 animals from 81 sires and 1010 dams collected between 1989 and 2004. The average number o...
