A review of genetic parameter estimates for wool, growth, meat and reproduction traits in sheep

2005-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Genetic parameters for a range of sheep production traits have been reviewed from estimates published over the last decade. Weighted means and standard errors of estimates of direct and maternal heritability, common environmental effects and the correlation between direct and maternal effects are presented for various growth, carcass and meat, wool, reproduction, disease resistance and feed intake traits. Weighted...
