Genetic correlations between body weight change and reproduction traits in Merino ewes depend on age.

Journal of animal science - 1 Aug 2014

Rose G, Mulder H A, van der Werf J H J, Thompson A N, van Arendonk J A M

Abstract excerpt

Merino sheep in Australia experience periods of variable feed supply. Merino sheep can be bred to be more resilient to this variation by losing less BW when grazing poor quality pasture and gaining more BW when grazing good quality pasture. Therefore, selection on BW change might be economically attractive but correlations with other traits in the breeding objective need to be known. The genetic correlations (rg)...
