The effects of birth weight, sex, twinning, parity of dam and dry season on mortality rates of lambs were studied between births and weaning at 20 weeks in a flock of East African Blackhead sheep. The mean birth weight of non-surviving lambs was lower than those of surviving lambs. Singles from g...

Factors affecting production records of lambs from a flock of East African Blackhead sheep
Dorset Horn rams were used on East African Blackhead sheep in western Uganda in mutton production through improved lamb growth. The crossbred lambs were significantly heavier than the indigenous at birth. From birth to weaning at five months, the growth rates of both types were identical, being 0...
