Lamb survival in Australian Merino sheep: a genetic analysis.

Journal of animal science - 1 Oct 2010

Hatcher S, Atkins K D, Safari E

Abstract excerpt

Direct and maternal components of variance for lamb survival to birth, 7 d, and weaning (110 d) were estimated by REML procedures in a flock of Australian Merino sheep. A total of 14,142 lambs, the progeny of 421 sires and 3,666 dams, born between 1975 and 1983 were available for analysis. The study has produced some of the most precise estimates of genetic parameters for lamb survival in the Australian Merino....
