Molecular marker heterozygosities and genetic distances as correlates of production traits in F1 bovine crosses

Several studies have investigated the relationship between heterozygosity, genetic distance and production traits. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of the degree of heterozygosity and genetic distance on growth, carcass and reproductive related features in F1 bovine c...
