Preweaning growth performance of west African shorthorn cattle and their Jersey crossbreds in Ghana.

Tropical animal health and production - 1 Feb 1993

Ahunu B K, Arthur P F, Danbaro G, Aboagye G S

Abstract excerpt

Calf records on 621 West African Shorthorn (WASH) and 3 grades of Jersey x WASH crossbreds were analysed for the effects of the level of Jersey breeding and other factors on birth weight, 205-day weaning weight and average daily gain (ADG). Crossbred calves were significantly (P < 0.01) heavier at birth than purebred WASH and birth weights increased with increasing level of Jersey breeding. No significant...
