The objectives of the present study were to estimate mean, heritability, genetic and phenotypic correlations and genetic trend. Data of 1776 records of Egyptian buffaloes, kept at Mehallet Mousa farm, Ministry of Agriculture, during the period from 1972 to 2002 were used to estimate the genetic parameters for productive traits, total milk yield (TMY), 305-day milk yield (305-DMY), lactation period (LP) and dry period (DP) and the reproductive traits were calving interval (CI) and days open (DO). Data were analysed using the software package VCE-6 Groeneveld et al (2010).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
