Factors affecting greasy fleece yield in Rambouillet sheep

International Journal of Fauna and Biological Studies · 2021 · Vol. 8(5) · pp. 06–08

Abstract

Greasy wool yield in sheep is an important trait governed by genetic and environmental factors during pre- and postnatal life. A study was therefore, undertaken to study the wool yield and some environmental factors affecting it in Rambouillet sheep. The data spread over three years (2018 to 2020) pertaining to Rambouillet sheep maintained at Government Sheep Breeding Farm Balnoi was analyzed by least squares and maximum likelihood computer program, PC-2 version (Harvey, 1990). The least square mean of 1.77±0.01 kg for greasy fleece yield (GFY) in Rambouillet sheep was observed. All the factors non-genetic (age, sex and year) included in the model influenced GFY significantly (P
