Estimates of genetic and crossbreeding parameters for 305-day milk yield of Girolando cows

Estimates of genetic and crossbreeding parameters for 305-day milk yield of Girolando cows

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of breed and heterosis on the estimates of genetic parameters of 305-day milk yield (305MY), by fitting milk yield data to the Wood, Mixed Log, Morgan, and Wilmink non-linear models. A total of 258,891 test-day milk yield records of 37,965 Holst...
