Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Understanding the phenotypic and genetic parameter estimates of growth traits is important for an effective livestock genetic improvement programme. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we evaluated the phenotypic performances and estimated genetic parameters for birthweight (BWT), weaning weight (WWT), pre-weaning average daily gain (PADG), pre-weaning Kleiber ratio (PKR), pre-weaning growth efficiency (PGE)...
