Influence of birth weight and post partum age on lamb mortality in Ethiopian Horro sheep
Mortality was studied in relation to birth weight (BWT) and postpartum age in 3083 Horro lambs born over 15 years at Bako Research Center, IAR. Pre-weaning mortality rose with declining BWT (log y = 2.20- 0.35X; r = 0.9981), but the influence after weaning was less pronounced and linear (y = 23.78-1...
