Genetic analyses of live weight and carcass composition traits in purebred Texel, Suffolk and Charollais lambs
Lamb live weight is one of the key drivers of profitability on sheep farms. Previous studies in Ireland have estimated genetic parameters for live weight and carcass composition traits using a multi-breed population rather than on an individual breed basis. The objective of the present study was to...
