Overview

Observational analysis reveals how maternal genotype affects lamb productivity indicators, suggesting improvements for breeding programmes.

Key Points

  • Lambs from Ab genotype dams showed the highest average birth weight at 4.2 kg and daily weight gain of 180 g.
  • Maternal genotype Aab resulted in high fertility and frequent multiple births, enhancing breeding efficiency.
  • Lambs from Ab dams yielded the highest slaughter weight at 21.4 kg and meat yield of 53%, indicating superior growth potential.
  • Significant differences in milk yield and meat quality were observed, emphasizing the importance of maternal genotype in lamb productivity.
