Data on 969 lambs collected over a 10-year period (1978 to 1987) on Dorper sheep at Ol'Magogo were used in this study. Lamb traits studied were weights from birth to yearling and absolute growth rates between adjacent stages of growth. Heritability estimates from paternal half-sib analysis were: ...

A selection programme (PNSO) was set up in 1983 in Cote d'Ivoire to increase growth and liveweight of the indigenous Djallonke sheep, using open nucleus breeding system. Selection was based on male individual weight at 80, 180 and 365 days of age. 10,417 records on 80 day weights (WT80) of lambs ...

Twenty-five year (1965-89) data on the Blended goats from Malya Research Centre totalling 4799 records were analysed for live weights and growth traits from birth to 72 weeks of age. The Blended goat developed in Malya, Tanzania, is a stabilised three-way cross of the Kamorai (55%), Boer (30%) an...

A total of 146 Menz and Horro lambs of both sexes were serially slaughtered and dissected at 5 different stages of growth (i.e. at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of age) to define the pattern of growth and partitioning of fat among body depots of indigenous Ethiopian Menz and Horro sheep breeds. The GL...
