Effects of sire genotype on lamb performance at weaning in extensive sheep systems.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 Jan 2019

Elizalde H F, Carson A F, Muñoz C

Abstract excerpt

A low finishing weight and poor carcass characteristics are major causes of lower incomes in extensive sheep flocks; however, the use of terminal sire crossbreeding would improve lamb performance and carcass traits under these conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate sire breed effects on the performance of lambs born to Corriedale ewes in extensive sheep systems in Western Patagonia. A total of 10...
