Extract

The project, conducted at ADAS Pwllpeiran, was based on mating individuals from several sources in Wales, using multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) to generate substantial numbers of progeny per sire and dam combination. The project represents the first attempt to create co-operative links between Welsh Mountain sheep breeding groups in Wales. The current analysis was conducted to determine whether sire and dam origins affected weaning weight.
