Risk factors associated with lambing traits.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 Jan 2016

McHugh N, Berry D P, Pabiou T

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to establish the risk factors associated with both lambing difficulty and lamb mortality in the Irish sheep multibreed population. A total of 135 470 lambing events from 42 675 ewes in 839 Irish crossbred and purebred flocks were available. Risk factors associated with producer-scored ewe lambing difficulty score (scale of one (no difficulty) to four (severe difficulty)) were...
