Add to ORKGGrowth and reproductive performance traits are traits of economic importance for sheep selection and productivity improvement. This study aimed at comparative evaluation of growth and reproductive performance traits of Washera and Gumuz indigenous sheep in the highland and lowland agro-ecologies of northwestern Ethiopia. Data on growth performance traits were collected from 412 Washera (162 male and 250 female) lambs and 208 Gumuz (72 male and 136 female) lambs. Concurrently, data on reproductive performance traits were collected from 406 Washera (130 rams and 276 ewes) sheep and 213 Gumuz (75 rams and 138 ewes) sheep. General linear model (GLM) univariate procedure was employed to analyze the collected data. Mean±SD values of adjusted year...
