Genetic parameters for weaning weight of Kenyan Boran cattle accounting for direct-maternal genetic covariances

CB Wasike, ED Ilatsia, J MK Ojango, AK Kahi (South African Society for Animal Science, 2006)

Genetic parameters were estimated for weaning weight (WW) in Kenya Boran cattle using animal models that assumed non-zero direct-maternal genetic covariance. In addition to the direct and maternal genetic effects, maternal ...
