Estimation of genetic parameters for pre-weaning growth traits in Dorper sheep under local Chinese conditions
Low heritability limit direct selection for pre-weaning traits. Prioritizing WW enhances indirect genetic gains for ADG and KR, aiding the optimization of Dorper sheep breeding strategies under Chinese intensive systems.
