Potential genetic gain in dairy production of Holstein Friesian cattle applying a selection index
This study was undertaken to estimate the potential genetic gains in milk yield by using several alternative selection criteria which included milk yield and reproductive traits of dairy cattle in Malawi. Applying the selection index procedure, the expected genetic gain in each trait in the diffe...
