Abstract excerpt
The present study was carried out to estimate the genetic parameters for direct and maternal influences on Mecheri sheep (Ovis aries) growth traits using Bayesian multi-trait animal model. The genetic parameters were calculated using data from 2825 Mecheri lambs born between 2010 and 2020 that were kept in semi-arid tropical climate. Mecheri sheep body weight (mean ± SE) at various stages, viz. BW, WW, and BW12,...
