Environmental Effects and Genetic Parameters for Growth Traits of Lohi Sheep

Environmental Effects and Genetic Parameters for Growth Traits of Lohi Sheep

Estimating genetic parameters for growth traits is crucial to plan breeding strategies for improving meat production in indigenous sheep breeds. The study first tested the effects of environmental and maternal effects on five growth traits, including birth weight (BWT), weight at 120 days (WT120), w...
