Genetic analysis of the effects of heat stress before and after lambing on pre‐weaning live weight in Spanish Merino lambs

BACKGROUND: Heat stress (HS) is a major environmental effect on sheep production. Hereby, we estimated the genetic (co)variance component of HS on the pre‐weaning performance of 19,022 Merino lambs by analysing the climatological index of temperature and relative humidity (recorded 30 days before la...
