Article Synopsis
- The study is the first to analyze the genetic and phenotypic relationships between growth and reproductive traits in Zandi sheep, using data from 4,309 lamb growth records and 2,588 reproductive trait records.
- It employed two animal models to estimate correlations between lamb growth traits (like birth weight and weaning weight) and ewe reproductive traits (including litter size and total litter weight).
- The findings show varied genetic correlations, particularly indicating that selecting for improved weaning weight might significantly enhance total litter weight at weaning and other reproductive traits in Zandi sheep.
