The impact of maternal genetic merit and country of origin on ewe reproductive performance, lambing performance, and ewe survival
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of the ewe’s maternal genetic merit and country of origin [New Zealand (NZ) or Ireland] on ewe reproductive, lambing, and productivity traits. The study was performed over a 4-yr period (2016–2019) and consisted of three genetic groups: high...
