Comparative performance of Friesian‐Sahiwal crossbreds and Sahiwal steers on Naivasha star grass in Kenya

摘要：

Dual‐purpose cattle can be utilised to exploit the production potential of tropical grasslands in Kenya for meat production.Although the Sahiwal is adapted to these grasslands,its productivity is low.In order to increase beef productivity, the Sahiwal has been crossed with Friesian to produce Friesian‐Sahiwal crossbreds ( McDowell et al.,1996 ; Muhuyi et al., 2005) which are adapted to the tropical environment.The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the Sahiwal and Friesian‐Sahiwal crossbred steers.
