Abstract excerpt

In this study, genetic parameters of nine growth, carcass, and meat quality (MQ) traits were estimated, and targeted association studies were conducted using mixed models. Phenotypic information was collected on 1,599 lambs, including both purebred Merinoland (ML) animals and five different F1 crosses. The F1 lambs were produced by mating rams of the meat-type breeds Charollais, Ile de France, German Blackheaded...
