Parameter estimates for additive breed genetic and heterotic effects for preweaning traits of dairy calves in coastal lowland Kenya
A total of 1443 records of preweaning traits of calves in a dairy herd in coastal lowland Kenya were used to estimate crossbreeding parameters in a regression analysis. In this herd, the Ayrshire (A), Brown Swiss (B) and Sahiwal (S) breeds have been used in a 3-breed rotation crossbreeding system. R...
