Estimates of crossbreeding parameters for defining optimal crossbreeding systems for the coastal lowland tropics
An individual animal model was fitted to data from a crossbred herd in the lowland coastal tropics of Kenya to estimated breed cross means for a total of 25 genotypes having different proportions of Ayrshire (A), Brown Swiss (B), Friesian (F) and Sahiwal (S) genes. These means were then regressed on...
