Genetic and phenotypic parameters for birth and weaning weights of purebred and crossbred N'dama and West African Shorthorn cattle
Calf records for a 30 year period (1965-1995) on purebred and crossbred N'dama and West African Shorthorn (WASH) cattle and their crosses with Santa Gertrudis or Red Poll were analyzed to determine factors affecting birth and weaning weights and to estimate genetic parameters. Male calves weighed he...
