| Popis: | In contrast to the Holstein-Friesian (HF) breed, Norwegian dairy cattle (NC) have been selected with emphasis on disease resistance and beef characteristics as well as milk production, and hence may be more suited to beef production than high genetic merit Holstein animals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the beef production potential of NC bulls, and to compare their performance with that of HF bulls. |
