Variance component and heritability estimates of early growth traits in the Elsenburg Dormer sheep stud
Total of 8909 birth weight and 7740 weaning weight records, from the progeny of 215 sires, collected from 1943 to 1990 from the Elsenburg Dormer sheep stud, were analysed. Additive genetic variance and heritability estimates for birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), average daily gain (ADG) and th...
