Estimation of variance components of milk yield and genetic evaluation of Sahiwal cattle using mixed linear models
First lactation 305 days milk yield (FL305DMY) records (2032) on Sahiwal cows, maintained at 3 different farms in India were analyzed to estimate the impact of direct additive genetic, maternal additive genetic and cow’s permanent environmental effects on milk yield and to compare sire model (BLUP)...
