Comparison of Booroola Merino and Finnsheep: effects on productivity of mates and performance of crossbred lambs.

Journal of animal science - 1 May 1991

Young L D, Dickerson G E

Abstract excerpt

Booroola Merino (BM) and Finnsheep (FS) rams were mated to FS and crossbred (CO) ewes to compare their effects on the productivity of their mates and the performance of their progeny. Effects of breed of ram and the interaction of breed of ram X breed of ewe were no significant for fertility, total number born, number born alive, litter birth weight, or number of lambs weaned by the ewe or in the nursery. Birth...
