Variation in performance of European dairy cattle in Ceylon
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Extract
The existence of a high degree of variability in all production traits of dairy cattle in tropical countries has been demonstrated. Evidence has been adduced to show that this is due largely to increased environmental variability than to any great inherent differences between animals. The conclusion is drawn that, despite minor differences, the genetics of milk production in tropical dairy cattle is fundamentally very similar to that in European stock.
