Narrowsense heritability for milk weight in cattle has been
Narrow-sense heritability for milk weight in cattle has been estimated as 0.65. If the mean volume of milk production in a herd of dairy cattle is 1900 gallons per year. What is the predicted volume of milk production from the offspring of a mother who both produced 2100 gallons?
Solution
let take total = both + dairy cattle
from , density=mass/volume.
0.65*10/2100 = 0.65*10/1900 - 0.65*10/x
by solving above equation we get,
x = 2000 galloons (volume of milk production from the offspring of a mother).
