Genetic parameter estimates for growth traits in Horro sheep por Abegaz, Solomon, Negussie, E., Duguma, G., Rege, J.E.O.

“…However, since the direct-maternal genetic covariances were found to be negative, caution should be made in making selection decisions. The high genetic correlation among early growth traits imply that genetic improvement in any one of the traits could be made through indirect selection for correlated traits.…”
