Genetic parameter estimates in Sabi sheep
Genetic parameters for growth traits in Sabi sheep were estimated using from data records of 4123 lambs from 130 sires and 1131 dams collected between 1984 and 1994. Reproduction traits and lamb survival to weaning were analysed fitting a sire threshold model. The direct additive contribution to bir...
