Genotype by nutritional environment interactions for lamb growth and carcass composition
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2017
Extract
Since UK slaughter generation lambs are produced from many different breeds in a wide range of environments, the possibility of interactions between genotype and feed treatment is of both practical and theoretical interest. Such an interaction exists for growth rate in different selection lines of Suffolk sheep on different levels of concentrate feeding (Lewis et al., 2002). Whether interactions exist between breed and feed treatment for lamb growth and carcass composition was investigated using two diverse breeds in several different nutritional environments.
