Effects of birth-rearing type on weaning weights in meat sheep are systematically associated with differences in mean performance among flocks

BACKGROUND: Adjustment of body weights for systematic environmental effects such as dam age and litter size is essential for accurate prediction of breeding values in meat sheep and often accomplished by pre-adjusting records using simple multiplicative adjustment factors, which are derived as ratio...
