Are you looking to apply these parameters to a or focusing on a particular goal like meat yield versus wool quality ?
In some breeds, selecting heavily for increased fleece weight can lead to a slight decrease in fiber fineness. Genetic Parameters for Sheep Production Traits
Reproductive traits like twinning rates or lamb survival. Because these are heavily influenced by environment/management, progress through breeding is slow. 2. Genetic Correlations: The "Package Deal" Are you looking to apply these parameters to
Enhance the overall "efficiency" of the flock—producing more output with the same input. Genetic Parameters for Sheep Production Traits
Growth rates and weaning weights. These respond well to selection but are influenced by the mother’s milk production.
