Genetic variation and covariation for ewe reproduction, lamb growth, and lamb scrotal circumference in a fall-lambing sheep flock.

Journal of animal science - 1 Jul 1996

al-Shorepy S A, Notter D R

Abstract excerpt

Genetic parameters for female reproduction, lamb growth, and lamb scrotal circumference in a composite population of 50% Dorset, 25% Rambouillet and 25% Finnsheep breeding selected for ability to lamb in fall were estimated by REML using various animal models. Traits considered were spring fertility, litter size, weight at weaning (WWT), 90 d (WT90), and 120 d (WT120), and scrotal circumference at weaning (WSC),...
