Popis: A simple crossbreeding experiment between Gabali (G) bucks and Hyplus (H) does was performed to estimate crossbreeding effects for post-weaning growth traits (body weight at 5 (BW5), 7 (BW7), 9 (BW9), 11 (BW11), and 13 (BW13) weeks of age and daily weight gains (DG) during (DG5-7), (DG7-9), (DG9-11), (DG11-13) and (DG5-13), weeks of age). Estimates of heritability were mostly low or moderate for growth traits and ranged from 0.12 to 0.35 for body weights and 0.05 to 0.66 for daily weight gains. The percentages of direct additive genetic effects on body weights favored (
