Variance components and estimates of genetic parameters for early growth traits in Horro sheep

Variance components and genetic parameters were estimated for growth traits: birth weight (BWT), weaning weight (WWT), six-month weight (6MWT) and yearling weight (YWT) in indigenous Ethiopian Horro lambs using the Average Information REML (AIREML). Four different models: Sire model (Model 1), Di...
