Heritability estimates for Merino sheep obtained from a national progeny test
Data of 5342 progeny from 232 sires from 30 genetically linked flocks, collected through the National Progeny Testing program for Merino sheep from 1991 to 1996, were used to estimate heritabilities for several production and type traits. The traits analysed were: body weight (BW), clean fleece wei...
