Overall birth rate 78%, overall twining rate 10%, average birth weight 3.6kg, stocking rate influences certain productions, e.g., a 75% increase in stocking rate decreased twinning by 46%, increased lamb losses by 186%; however, output from pastures in terms of lamb weaning weight was only 8% les...

Dorper sheep weighed 8 kg more than Red Maasai at 1 year of age. Due to better growth rates and higher adult weight, Dorper consumed more pasture than Red Maasai. It has been calculated that in terms of percentage 83 Dorper breeding ewes and followers consume as much pasture as 100 Red Maasai bre...
