New study reveals genetic factors influencing Angora goat performance traits.
The study analyzed data from Angora goats to understand traits like body weight, fleece weight, and fiber diameter. They found that genetic factors play a significant role in these traits, with body weight and fiber diameter showing higher heritability than fleece weight. Maternal genetic effects also influence these traits. Positive correlations were observed between body weight and fleece weight, body weight and fiber diameter, and fleece weight and fiber diameter.
