Abstract:The present study aimed to evaluate the genetic parameters of first parity reproductive traits. Information on 762 reproductive records on Saanen × Beetal (S × B) goats reared for approximately five decades was collected from ICAR‐National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal, Haryana (1973–2020). For genetic analysis, single‐trait and multiple‐trait animal models were used. Gibbs sampler for animal model (GSAM) approach was used for estimating (co)variance components of reproductive traits. Six different single‐t… Show more
