Dairy goat production in Brazil, although firmly established since a few decades, has proved to be totally dependent on foreign countries for genetic improvement. Most herds presently producing are based on imported animals, and genetic refreshment is obtained through imported semen. No information is available on the genetic values and their evaluation along the years. In this paper, heritability and repeatability estimates, obtained through REML, are reported for milk yield. The values were 0.21557 and 0.21564, respectively. The BLUP method […]
