Estimation of variance components for lamb weights in three sheep populations.

Journal of animal science - 1 May 1994

Tosh J J, Kemp R A

Abstract excerpt

Variance components were estimated for lamb weight at birth, 50 d, and 100 d of age. Data from the Canadian flock recording program for lambs born in 1977 to 1991 for Hampshires (n = 6,395) and Polled Dorsets (n = 29,204) and 1982 to 1991 for Romanovs (n = 3,432) were studied. Observed weights we...
