The Karan Fries (KF), a newly developed dairy cattle (Holstein Friesian × Tharparkar), after nine generations of inter se mating (mating among crossbreds) by maintaining a stable, composite breed structure, is expected to preserve some heterosis or hybrid vigour through the retention of heterozygosity and selective pressure for performance traits. Although a decline in productivity is generally seen from F1 to...
