Production characteristics of a flock of East African Blackhead sheep por Sacker, G.D., Trail, J.C.M.

“…Production characteristics, covering ewe breeding data; growth of lambs and use of correction factors for parity of dam, sex and type of birth of lamb; ewe milk production as measured by early lamb growth; effects of dry season on lamb weights and ewe milk production; repeatabilities and phenotypic correlations between lambs weights; and assessment of lamb mortality, were examined in a flock of East African Blackhead sheep maintained over an 11-year period in western Uganda. The ewes had an unrestricted mating season; age at first lambing was 532±8 days; mean overall lambing interval was 255±2.3 days and an average of 7 lamb crops per ewe were produced over the period from birth to 6 years of age. …”
