Abstract

SUMMARYThe least squares analysis on birth, weaning, 6-month and yearling weights in Magra lambs showed that years of lambing, age and weight of dam at lambing and sex of lamb significantly affected all the body weights except the age of dam which did not significantly affect 6-month and yearling weights. Adjustment of these weights for significant effect will be necessary in obtaining estimates of genetic and phenotypic parameters.
