Abstract

The overall age at first conception and lambing in Sangamneri strain of Deccani ewes was 632.12±16.93 and 778.62±6.92 days, respectively. The lambing interval was 256.40±4.63 days. Non-genetic factors viz. year of birth and season of birth significantly influenced all the traits under study, while the birth weight group showed non-significant influence on reproductive traits.
