378 Genetic Parameter Estimates of Post-Weaning Growth and Gastrointestinal Nematode Infection Traits of Katahdin Lambs

Abstract The objective of this study was to estimate heritability of, and genetic correlations between lamb growth and gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection. Lambs were weighed and weaned at ~60 days of age and body weight (BW), fecal egg count (FEC), FAMACHA score (FAM) and packed cell volume (...
