- W3119611952 abstract "Data for birth weight (BW), lamb survival (LS) and neonatal behaviour, including records of between 1494 (latency of birth to first suckling or LBS) and 2705 (BW and LS) lambs were used. Additionally to the lamb data, ewe data comprising of between 1003 ewe-year records for the latency of stay on the birth site (SBS) and 2024 ewe-year records for number of lambs weaned per ewe mated (NLW) were analysed. These records were from selection lines that had been divergently selected from the same base population since 1986, either for NLW (termed the High or H line) or against NLW (termed the Low or L line). Overall, H line lambs had an improved LS compared to their L line contemporaries, while H line ewes were superior to L line ewes for NLW. Latency of parturition of H line progeny was shorter than in L line progeny while ewe lambs had shorter births than ram lambs. Lamb sex and selection line had no effect on the latency from birth to suckling, which decreased as dam age increased. The second of multiples took longest to progress to suckling from birth, with singles being the quickest. H line ewes had shorter parturitions and cooperated better with the first suckling attempts of their offspring. Single-trait direct heritability estimates (h²) in lambs were 0.15 for BW, 0.07 for LS, 0.06 for latency of parturition (LP) and 0.14 for LBS. The inclusion of the maternal genetic variance ratio (m²) resulted in an improvement in the log likelihood ratio for BW, LP and LBS, yielding estimates of respectively 0.37, 0.18 and 0.12. The maternal permanent environment variance ratio for LS amounted to 0.07. The genetic correlation of LS with LP was favourable at -0.69. Estimates of h², as ewe traits, were 0.04 for NLW, 0.17 for LP, 0.07 for ewe cooperation score (ECS) and 0.20 for SBS. Genetic correlations indicated that ewes with a high NLW had shorter parturitions while ECS was genetically correlated to SBS. Genetic trends suggested divergence between the lines for breeding values for LP, suggesting that parturitions became shorter in the H line and longer in the L line. Selection for NLW would yield desirable outcomes for ewe and lamb behavioural traits based on genetic trends and correlations. Such selection would putatively benefit animal welfare by reducing birth stress in ewes and lambs and by promoting maternal cooperation with their offspring’s first suckling attempts in ewes." @default.
