Genetic parameters for growth traits in N'Dama cattle under Tsetse challenge in The Gambia. In Genetic improvement of livestock in Tsetse infested areas in west Africa
Heritabilities and correlations for growth traits in N'Dama cattle under tsetse challenge were estimated using an animal model. Animals were born and weaned in a low to medium tsetse challenge area and, after weaning at 12 months of age, they were transported to a high tsetse challenge area until th...
