Variance components and genetic parameters were estimated for growth traits: birth weight (BWT), weaning weight (WWT), six-month weight (6MWT) and yearling weight (YWT) in indigenous Ethiopian Horro lambs using the Average Information REML (AIREML). Four different models: Sire model (Model 1),...

Conception, lambing rate and litter size were studied on data from a flock of Horro sheep in Ethiopia from 1878 to 1997. The CATMOD and GLM procedures of SAS were used for the analysis of these traits. A sire, direct additive genetic and a repeatability animal model were employed to obtain estim...

Factors affecting reproductive performance and estimates of genetic parameters of litter size in Horro sheep
Factors affecting the early growth and survival of indigenous Ethiopian Horro sheep were identified and the influence of each was assessed, based on data collected from 1978 97 from 4031 lambs at Bako Research Centre, Ethiopia. Year of birth, sex, type of birth or rearing, and parity had signific...

Characterization of indigenous breeding strategies of the sheep farming communities of Ethiopia: A basis for designing community-based breeding programs
Identification of breeding objective traits pertinent to specific production environments with the involvement of target beneficiaries is crucial to the success of a breed improvement program. A choice experiment was conducted in four locations representing different production systems and agro-e...
