There is however a considerable range around the mean regressions for all traits examined, and in the case of the regression of cross-bred progeny carcase weight on sire post-weaning weight ASBV, some anomalous results requiring further investigation. IN general, lamb producers can be confident in use of LAMBPLAN information in sourcing flock rams. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AAABG 2009: 18th Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Barossa Valley, Australia, 27th September - 1st October, 2009 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, v.18, p. 480-483 | Publisher: | Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics (AAABG) | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | ISSN: | 1328-3227 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830310 Sheep - Meat | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/36420775 http://www.aaabg.org/proceedings18/files/banks480.pdf |
