Abstract excerpt
This study utilised mortality records of 1 043 Fogera calves maintained at Andassa Livestock Research Center from 1984 to 2021 to investigate the factors that influence survival and estimate genetic parameters for the preweaning survival of Fogera calves. Survival was defined as the probability of surviving in a given length of time. Survival analysis was done using the Weibull proportional hazard model with...
