Genetic parameters of growth of Ethiopian Boran cattle
Records on birth weight and pre-weaning growth of 3959 Boran calves, which were progeny of 51 sires and 979 dams, were analysed by least-squares analysis of variance. The vaiance components for sires, dams and maternal grandsires were estimated from the data. On the basis of assumed genetic correlat...
