Genetic parameters for growth performance of the Malaysian local goats and their crossbreds with the German (improved) Fawn goats

Growth performance data of the local goats of Malaysia and their crossbreds with the German (Improved) Fawn goats were analysed using animal models with maternal effects, in order to estimate additive genetic and crossbreeding parameters.
