Sentence examples for rear type from inspiring English sources

The statistical model included fixed effects of flock, sex, DOB (date of birth), birth type, rear type and a random effect of animals (taking pedigree relationship into account).

There were no significant effects of litter size at birth or rearing type on behaviour and only small effects of farm of origin and breed of dam of the lamb (Scottish Blackface and Hardy Speckled Face).

The rearing type was discarded for similar reasons.

Models applied to each dam age class also included effects of birth (or birth-rearing) type and birth (or birth-rearing) type × flock interaction.

In general, effects of birth-rearing type × dam age class interaction were also significant (P ≤ 0.04).

The main purpose of the analysis was to assess the magnitude of the effects of flock × dam age class and flock × birth (or birth-rearing) type interactions, and the model included fixed effects of flock, birth year, dam age class, birth-rearing type, and interactions of dam age class × birth-rearing type, flock × dam age class, and flock × birth-rearing type.

Male lambs were heavier than female lambs and the weight decreased when the birth type or the rearing type increased.

The birth-rearing type of the lamb has a major influence on pre-weaning growth, and adjustment of phenotypic records for effects of birth-rearing type is essential for the genetic evaluation of body weights in sheep.

However, this study documented flock differences in effects of birth-rearing type on lamb weaning weights, with an inverse relationship between flock means for weaning weight and multiplicative effects of birth-rearing type.

Weaning weights in all datasets were influenced (P < 0.001) by effects of flock, birth-rearing type, and dam age class.

Differences in adjustment factors for birth-rearing type and dam age class between flocks were quite repeatable in our data, as documented by significant effects of flock × birth-rearing type and flock × dam age class interactions when these effects were tested against effects of flock × birth year × birth-rearing type and flock × birth year × dam age class interactions, respectively.
