Pedigree and performance records of Holstein × Gir crossbred cows provided by the Brazilian Association of Girolando Breeders were used to estimate genetic parameters for milk yield (PL), 305 days milk yield (PL305), lactation length (DL), calving interval (IDP), age at first calving (IPP) and milk yield by day of calving interval (PL/IDP). Univariate models including additive, dominance and epistatic effects were fitted using 4,805 records of PL, PL305 and DL and 2,222, 1,408 and 2,363 records of IDP, IPP […]
Keywords: crossbreeding; dominance; epistasis; heritability; repeatability
