dc.description.abstractGrowth performance of Madras Red sheep in farmers‘ flocks was evaluated using random regression models (RRM). Data accrued over 25 years at the Network Project on Sheep Improvement - Madras Red field unit (NWPSI), jointly funded by Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi and Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (TANUVAS), Chennai has been utilised for this study. Evaluation of growth was done through univa.riate analyses, multivariate analyses and RRM and the results were compared. Univariate analyses was done for body weight at birth (BW), weaning weight (WW), 6- month weight (6W), 9-month weight (9W), 12-month weight (YW), pre-weaning (ADG1, birth to 3-months) and post-weaning average daily gains (ADG2, 3- 6 months; ADG3, 6-9 months; ADG4, 9-12 months and ADG5, 3-12 months).
