Abstract
Data on body length, chest girth, height and weight at birth of 404 Marwari lambs from 19 different sire-families were analysed. There was a significant phenotypic correlation between any two characters. All the environmental correlations except the one between body length and chest girth were smaller than the corresponding phenotypic correlations. The genetic correlation between body length and width was fairly low but all other correlations were very high, Heritability estimates for body length, height, chest girth and birth weight were 0.06, 0.42, 0.23 and 0.20, respectively.
