Optimizing the Performance of Traditional Hu Sheep Using Multi Lamb Fast Growing Lines in Hu Sheep
The aim of this article is to evaluate the improvement of growth traits in ordinary Hu sheep by a new breed of meat based multi lamb fast growing sheep.By measuring the weight,body length,chest circumference,and tube circumference of the hybrid generation of local Jinyun sheep at three months old,five months old,and seven months old,as well as the large Hu sheep×Jinyun sheep,the impact of hybridization on improving the growth traits of Hu sheep offspring was obtained;Compared with local sheep,hybrid offspring have improved in various aspects,and there is a positive correlation between various indices.Hybridization of high-quality Hu sheep breeds can effectively improve the growth performance of traditional Hu sheep and bring higher economic benefits to the sheep farm.
