A note on the breeding season of Lincoln ewes at Bahia Blanca, Argentina
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 September 2010
Abstract
Days elapsed from the mid point of the anoestrous period to first (DF) and last (DL) oestrus of the breeding season and duration of this breeding season (DD) within a flock of 60 adult Lincoln ewes are reported in this note. All traits showed considerable variation and the phenotypic correlation between DF and DD was −0·57 (P < 0·01) while that between DL and DD was 0·87 (P < 0·01). However, DF was not correlated with DL (P = 0·10).
