Estimation of genetic parameters for lamb weight at various ages in Mehraban sheep
The aim of the present study was to estimate variance components and genetic parameters among growth traits of Iranian Mehraban sheep using single and two-trait animal models. Analyzed traits included, birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), weight at 6 months (W6), weight at 9 months (W9) and yearl...
