Abstract

Present investigation was carried out to estimate the correlation and regression coefficient
estimates between some growth performance traits of Harnai sheep. The available data was collected and
maintained at Multipurpose Sheep Research Centre Yetabad, District Loralia, Balochistan, Pakistan. The
data regarding growth traits including birth weight, yearling weight, weaning weight and fleeces weight
was analysed for the estimation of correlation and regression coefficient. In present study the results for
correlation and regression coefficient estimates were observed low to positive between some growth
performance traits of Harnai sheep. Due to low results for correlation and regression coefficient, it is
concluded that mass selection is advisable for achieving better performance in growth traits of Harnai
sheep.
