Abstract

Data and managementData and pedigree information on Ghezel sheep collected at the Breeding Station of Ghezel sheep, over the period from 1999 to 2007 (9-years), were used in this research.This information included pedigree information (animal, sire and dam code), birth information (date of birth, lamb sex, birth type) and performance records (birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), and 6-months weight (6 MW)).Data which were available for analysis included 9,221 lamb records born from 180 sires and 5,060 dams for BW, 7,206 lamb records born from 167 sires and 4,497 dams for WW, and 6,112 lamb records born from 157 sires
