Abstract :The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic and phenotypic parameters for daily milk yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DMY); in Black Bengal does. Genetic parameters were estimated using a residual maximum likelihood procedure, fitting an animal model while ignoring maternal genetic or permanent environmental effects. The least squares mean for DMY was 354.76 g. DMY was significantly insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P < 0.01); affected by parity, litter size, and season of kidding. The heritability of DMY was low insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.15); and the fact that the trait can only be measured in females suggests that progeny testing may be the best sire selection method for this trait.
