Abstract
Data (n=323l) on production and functional traits of Madras Red sheep
available from 1991 to 2017 (26 years) at the Sheep and Goat Breeding Unit,
Post-Graduate Research Institute in Animal Sciences, Kattupakkam,
Kancheepuram District, Tamil Nadu were utilized for the study. The pedigree
information was collected from the records maintained in the Institute. The
production traits such as birth weight, body weight at weaning (3-month),
6-month, 9-month and 12-month and pre-weaning (birth to 3-month) and post-
weaning (3- 6, 6-9, 9-12 and 3-12 month) average daily weight gains were
studied.
