Abstract
The relationships between body weight, body and fat tail dimensions of 119 hamdani lambs at weaning were studied. A total of 500 records of 115 hamdani ewes (test day milk yield) were analyzed. The overall mean of test-day milk yield was 0.414 kg. The effects of flock , age of dam , stage of lactation and body weight of dam on this trait were significant. Repeatability estimate for test-day milk yield was (0.52 ± 0.04) , and the estimated value of BLUP for ewe depending on milk yield ranged from (-155.56 to 214.58 gm ) for the first flock, and (-162.46 to 240.39 gm ) for the second flock. The overall mean of weaning weight (WW),body length (BL) hearth girth (HG), height at shoulder (HS) & at hip(HH) width at shoulder (WS) and at hip (WH) were 21.41 kg, 49.69 cm, 61.79 cm, 54.73 cm, 56.99 cm, 14.05 cm,16.99 cm, respectively .The overall mean of fat tail length (FL) , fat tail width (FW1) at the point of attachment with the body and at the middle point (FW2) were 13.81 cm , 20.30 cm and 23.83 cm, respectively. Positive correlation coefficients (p
