The data on 862 Hardhenu cattle sired by 63 pertaining to production performance traits were collected from history cum pedigree sheets maintained at Cattle Breeding Farm (CBF), Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Hisar over a period of 20 years from 1997 to 2016. Analysis of variance done by restricted maximum likelihood method of Harvey (1990) using mixed linear model. The heritability estimates along with standard errors for different production performance traits viz., LMY, LMY-305, LL, PY, AMY, MCI, MSC, Persistency, AFC, SP, CI and DP summarized as 0.41±0.11, 0.36±0.11, 0.26±0.09, 0.44±0.16, 0.30±0.10, 0.31±0.10, 0.50±0.12, 0.26±0.09, 0.45±0.20, 0.04±0.01, 0.10±0.07 and 0.11±0.07, respectively. The heritability estimates for various production performance traits were found to be low to high ranging from 0.04 (SP) to 0.50 (MSC). The genetic and phenotypic correlations between production performance traits were low to high ranged -0.70 (LL/DP) to 0.99 (LMY-305/SP) and -0.55 (MSC/DP) to 0.96 (LMY/LMY-305). The genetic and phenotypic correlations of MSC with all production performance traits were moderate to high ranged from 0.28 (SP) to 0.90 (LMY) and 0.28 (SP) to 0.90 (AMY), respectively. Therefore, selection based on MSC would result in improvement in desirable direction through positive correlated response in most of the traits under study.
