Additional file 4 of Evaluation of crossbreeding strategies for improved adaptation and productivity in African smallholder cattle farms

Additional file 4: Figure S2. Impact of the genetic correlation ( $${r}_{g}$$ r g ) between body weight and tick count incidence on their phenotypic mean over 20 generations in different crossbreeds and local cattle populations simulated on smallholder farms. Figure S3. Impact of genetic correlation between local and exotic environment ( $${r}_{g\times e}$$ r g × e ) on the phenotypic mean for body weight and tick count incidence over 20 generations in different crossbreeds and local cattle populations simulated on smallholder farms. Figure S4. Genetic-by-environment interactions significantly affect phenotypic gain in F1 and rotational crosses but not in synthetic crosses.
