Abstract excerpt
The present investigation aimed at genetic evaluation of tropical Indian dairy Jamunapari goat using random regression models (RRM) for the estimation of genetic parameters in the first three lactations across test days (TD) and also to come out with a pragmatic breeding plan in the nucleus. Variations in the lactation curves were modelled using 67,172 TD milk yield (TDMY) records. To obtain adequate and...
