| Description |
The present study was undertaken in Malpura sheep for genetic analysis of production and reproduction traits. The data consisting 1727 Malpura sheep spread over from 1996 to 2007, maintained at CSWRI, Avikanagar, Rajasthan were used to estimate LSMs, genetic parameters and sire evaluation. The traits studied were BWT, 3WT, 6WT, 9WT, 12WT, ADG1, ADG2, ADG3, GFY1, GFY2, GFY3, AFS, WTFS and AFL. The data were subjected to LSMLMW and MIXMDL packages of Harvey (1990) and derivative free-REML package of Meyer (1998), taking sex, year, season as fixed effects; sire as a random effect; ewe weight and age at shearing as covariates. The least squares means (±S.E.) for above mentioned traits were 3.01±0.01, 13.62±0.07, 20.69±0.11, 23.57±0.12, 26.89±0.12, 118±0.76, 77.01±0.65, 38.11±0.82, 0.586±0.004, 0.371±0.01, 0.381±0.0 (kg.), 645±7.49 days, 26.32±0.13kg and 729.15±4.57 days, respectively. LSMs for all traits were in range. Fixed effects sex and year had significant (p |
