Between and within breed variation in lamb survival and the risk factors associated with major causes of mortality in indigenous Horro and menz sheep in Ethiopia
Data collected on 3256 lambs born to Horro and Menz breed ewes single-sire mated to 71 rams at the International Livestock research Institute (ILRI) Debre Berhan station between September 1992 and June 1996 were analysed for rates of survival and growth from birth to weaning. A significantly lower p...
