Abstract excerpt
The present study aimed to estimate the heritability as well as genotypic and phenotypic correlations of body weights at different ages, average daily gain (ADG), and Kleiber ratio (KR) in Magra sheep. A total of 5,469 growth records, spanning 26 years (1998-2023), were obtained from the Arid Region Campus of the ICAR-Central Sheep and Wool Research Institute, Bikaner, Rajasthan. Genetic parameters were estimated...
