Growth and survival to weaning of crosses of Ayrshire, Brown swiss and Sahiwal cattle.
A total of 1443 records from a private ranch in the coastal lowland tropics of Kenya were used to estimate the comparative calf performance to weaning of the different crosses of Ayrshire (A), Brown Swiss (B) and Sahiwal (S). Individual and maternal additive and heterotic effects for, and heritabili...
