Abstract excerpt
Birth weights, weaning, and daily weight gain of calves before weaning vary according to farm animals' environment, production, and breeding systems. It is expected that these traits will be affected by direct genetic influences and the genetic effects of the mother. Therefore, this study was designed and conducted on 50 Holstein cows herds to estimate breeding value (after estimating the mean of allele effect...
