Abstract excerpt
The present study aimed to estimate the genetic parameters of different fibre traits, viz., greasy fleece weight, staple length, and fibre diameter in Rambouillet sheep population using a multi-trait animal model. Data, spanning over 10 years (1998-2007) and pertaining to fibre traits at first clip, were collected for a total of 4186 Rambouillet sheep maintained at an organized farm. (Co)Variance structure and...
