Analysis of multivariate relations among birth weight, survivability traits, growth performance, and some important factors in Suffolk lambs
Original language description
The aim of this study was to describe the relationships among lambs birth weight, survivability traits, growth performance, and selected factors in Suffolk lambs kept under a specified extensive management system. Data were collected regarding 1012 Suffolk lambs born during a 3-year period in one flock. Statistical analyses were conducted using the SAS and CANOCO program software. Birth weight was found to be an important factor influencing survivability and growth performance traits.The results of multivariate relations also clearly indicated that the selection of lambs should be focused on twins with regard to the monitoring of mature ewes live weight at mating, which helped to improve the lambs survivability traits, in particular. The monitoring of ewes mature live weight at mating should also serve as a tool for flock management to shorten the lambing period in the flock and to improve the birth weight and growth performance traits of lambs. The mature ewe body condition score at mating shoul
