Genetic Parameters for Growth and Kid Survival of Indigenous Goat under Smallholding System of Burundi
The goal of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for the growth, conformation, and survival of goat kids raised in smallholder farming systems in Burundi. To do this, measurements were taken on live weight, thoracic perimeter, length, and height at birth (n = 1538 animals), at 3 months (n =...
