Extract

An analysis was made of the effect of inbreeding in Sardinian sheep from the records of 658 single female lambs born in the Monastir flock in the years 1935–42 and 1947–55.

The calculations of differences between inbreds (both 12·5% and 25%) were done within recording years. The results showed that inbreeding had no significant effect on birth weight or 30-day weight.
