Genetic and phenotypic parameters for test day milk yield of Sahiwal cattle in the semi-arid tropics

A total of 19 376 test day (TD) milk yield records from the first three lactations of 1618 cows daughters of 162 sires were used to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters and determine the relationship between daily milk yield and lactation milk yield in the Sahiwal cattle in Kenya. Variance com...
