The
Wald statistics also demonstrate the highly significant fixed effects of
year of birth, age of ewe (DL and DQ), age at weaning and sex, as shown
earlier by least squares analysis of variance.
The table of effects
shown alongside demonstrates, for example, that the lambs born in the
later years had lower weaning weights compared with those born in the
earlier years and, further, that male lambs had an average weaning
weight slightly higher by 0.4779 (± 0.1695) kg than females.
