Genetic parameters of milk production and reproduction traits of Girolando cattle in Brazil

Genetic parameters of milk production and reproduction traits of Girolando cattle in Brazil

The objective of this study was to estimate the heritability and genetic, phenotypic, and environmental correlations between 305-day milk yield (305MY), age at first calving (AFC), calving interval (CI) and dry period length (DPL), as well as to compare the productive and reproductive performances o...
