Selection for lambing rate and clean fleece weight in sheep.

Journal of animal science - 1 Nov 1995

Saboulard M, Russell W C, Riley M L

Abstract excerpt

This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of selection for lambing rate (LB) and clean fleece weight (CFW) separately or by a combination of both traits at once. Two flocks of approximately 200 western white faced ewes per flock were maintained at two locations. Each flock was divided into four equal selection groups of similar initial birth type and age. The basis of selection in each flock was as...
