Title: Genotype and environmental interaction in growth and milk yield traits of indigenous Red Chittagong cattle
Abstract: The present study was conducted to reveal the G×E interaction in growth and milk yield traits of indigenous Red Chittagong cattle reared in two production environments. Traits included: birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), average daily gain (ADG), daily milk yield (DMY), lactation length (LL) and lactation yield (LY). Data accumulated on a total of 161 animals during 2005 to 2012 in growth traits and 76 animals during 2005 to 2008 in milk yield traits. The heritability of BW, WW and ADG were 0.47±0.04, 0.49±0.17, 0.49±0.16 respectively and the heritability of DMY, LL, LY were 0.47± 0.07, 0.47±0.06 and 0.47±0.08, respectively. The effect of genotype x environment interaction was non-significant (p>0.05) on BW, WW and ADG whereas its effect was highly significant (p<0.001)on DMY, LL and LY. Correlations (genetic) between the breeding values of BW, WW and ADG in two production environment were 0.19, 0.13 and 0.11, respectively and correlations (genetic) between breeding values of DMY, LL and LY were 0.07, 0.18 and -0.01, respectively. The said genetic correlation values represented the degree of genotype by environment interaction arising on the RCC in the said two production environments.Traits with positive genetic correlation values indicate their acceptability (no difference) where as traits with negative correlation values indicate that RCC parents should be selected and used separately in two production environments.
