Evaluating reproduction traits in a crossbreeding program between indigenous and exotic sheep in semi-arid lands

Evaluating reproduction traits in a crossbreeding program between indigenous and exotic sheep in semi-arid lands

Reproduction traits are important factors determining the efficiency of any sheep production system. This study evaluates the age at first lambing (AFL), lambing interval (LI), litter weight at birth (LBWT), litter weight at weaning (LWWT), birth weight of ewe (EBWT) and weaning weight of ewes (EWWT...
