Calculating economic weights for sheep sire breeds used in different breeding systems.

Journal of animal science - 1 Jun 2011

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this paper was to adapt gene-flow methodology for the calculation of economic weights (EW) for direct and maternal traits and trait components in sheep and to apply this methodology to the Suffolk breed in the Czech Republic. Computer programs were developed in which annual-lambing sheep production systems with purebreeding or partial terminal crossing were simulated. Using these programs, the EW...
