Estimation of Genetic Parameters and Breeding Values for Body weight and Linear Body Measurements of Mixed Flock of Cattle Breeds

Estimation of Genetic Parameters and Breeding Values for Body weight and Linear Body Measurements of Mixed Flock of Cattle Breeds

The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic parameters and breeding values for body weight and linear body measurements namely body length, heart girth, height at withers, hip height and tail length of cattle. The number of animals used for the study was 176 and fixed factors such as breed, se...
