Abstract excerpt
Data on Zandi sheep were analysed to quantify maternal and paternal imprinting, X chromosome and litter effects' contribution to phenotypic variation in birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), growth rate (GR), Kleiber ratio (KR), efficiency of growth (EF) and relative growth rate (RGR). To this end, a two-step approach was adopted. In the first step, each trait was analysed with a series of 16 animal models,...
