Abstract: Heterosis is the improved performance of the offspring over the parents. The experiment was carried out to determine the heterosis of some anthropometric traits from crossing of Muturu cows with the White Fulani bulls using artificial insemination (AI). This experiment was carried out during the period of dry season and on-set of rainy season (November to February) between 2016 and 2019. Sixty adult Muturu cows were inseminated using semen from 15 different White Fulani bulls. Fifty-one crossbred calves were p… Show more
