Utilization of exotic germplasm for milk production in the tropics
Results from 80 Reports in the literature on crossbreeding in the tropics were summarised to study the relationship between dairy performance and proportion of exotic genes. Grades higher than 1/2 exotic did not perform any worse than the Fl in all traits, except calving interval which was longer in...
