Hematocrit is measured by the direct reading of a blood-filled tube that has previously been centrifuged, or it is calculated from the hemoglobin by an electronic cell counting device (Schalm, 1975; http://www.aum.iawf.unibe.ch/HemoSurf/Data_E/Info/PaRB.htm). 8. Parturition Interval (days) (2) The interval, in days, for an individual female from one parturition to the next (Esslemont et al., 1985). 9. Weight at Specific Age (kg) (8) 10. Yearling Weight (kg) (2) Live body weight (in kilograms) of the animal at the age of one year (365days).
