    Kastelic, Miran ; Kompan, Drago
    Phenotypic and genetic parameters were studied in Slovenian autochthonous sheep breed Jezersko-Solčavska. The data orignate from Slovenian selection program. The number of sheep in Slovenia, ... especially ofautochthonous breeds is increasing due to abandoning of intensive farming on many farms. Another reason are subsidies, favouring low intensity production and autochthonous breeds. The breed is fertile during the whole year. Estimated heritabilities are: 0.078 for birthweight, 0.401 for weight at 60 days and 0.390 for weight at the end of the test at average age of 185.35 days.
