Genetic parameter estimates for pre-weaning weight traits in Dorper sheep
Genetic parameters were estimated for birth-, 42-day, and 100-day (weaning) weight in the Dorper flock of the Glen Agricultural Institute in South Africa. Direct habitability estimates of 0.11, 0.28 and 0.20 and maternal habitability estimates of 0.10, 0.10 and 0.10 were obtained for body weight at...
