A comparative study of the Dorper and Dorper X Red Maasai sheep

Investigates environmental sources of variation influencing growth traits of the Dorper and Dorper X Red Maasai sheep with special reference to the relative performance of various geneotypes. Lamb traits studied were weights from birth to yearling and absolute growth rates between adjacent stages of...
