data on 361 lambs of mehraban (n=90), ghezel (n=92), ghezel × mehraban (n=87), and mehraban × ghezel (n=92, sire breed listed first) were used to estimate individual heterosisfor lamb growth. the obtained results demonstrated that lambs of purebreds of ghezel and mehraban showed the highest and the lowest birth weight, respectively (p

estimation of genetic parameters for pre weaning growth traits and lamb survival in iran black sheep

the aims of this research were to estimate of genetic parameters for pre-weaning traits and lamb survival in iran-black sheep. for this purpose 6344 records for birth weight (bw) and lamb survival (ls) and 5264 records for weaning weight (ww), average daily gain (adg) and kleiber ratio (kr) were available, which collected by abbasabad animal breeding and rearing station, over the period from 19...

Estimation of (co) variance components and genetic parameters for growth traits in Arman sheep

(Co) variance components and genetic parameters for growth traits in Arman sheep were estimated, using data collected during an 11-year period (1999-2010), by applying the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) procedure under univariate and bivariate animal models. The studied traits were body weight of lamb at birth (BW), body weight at 3 months of age as weaning weight (WW), body weight at 6 m...

Random regression models for estimation of covariance functions of growth in Iranian Kurdi sheep

Body weight (BW) records (n=11,659) of 4961 Kurdi sheep from 215 sires and 2085 dams were used to estimate the additive genetic, direct and maternal permanent environmental effects on growth from 1 to 300 days of age. The data were collected from 1993 to 2015 at a breeding station in North Khorasan province; Iran. Genetic parameters for growth traits were estimated using random regression test-...
