A note on effects of lambing at one year and farm production level on the performance of prolific ewes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 September 2010
Summary
Data from a large field trial comparing the performance of contemporary crossbred ewes from traditional and experimental prolific rams were used to study two factors, (1) the influence of lambing at 1 yr of age on subsequent ewe performance and (2) the effect of level of farm performance on the difference between the traditional and the prolific types. Neither effect was found to be important.
