Study revealed that Malpura sheep has genetic potential for increased mutton production. The least squares means were 3.09, 14.16, 21.44 and 28.00 kg for birth 3,6 and 12 months respectively. The body weight at different ages and GFY are associated with moderate to high degree of genetic variation. Genetic correlations among all the traits are positive indicating that selection for any of body traits would result in genetic improvement in other traits.
