Genetic parameters for body weight, fleece weight and fibre diameter in South African Angora goats
Data obtained through the Angora goat perfornance testing pilot scheme, run by the Department of Agriculture at the Grootfontein Agricultural Development Institute, were analyzed. Data of kids born from 1990 until 1993 in 17 studs were used in the analysis. Traits analyzed were body weight (BW; n =...
