With the growing demand for animal-sourced foods and a serious concern over climate impacts associated with livestock farming, the sheep industry worldwide faces the formidable challenge of increasing the overall product supply while improving its resource use efficiency. As an evidence base for research to identify key drivers behind animal growth and carcass quality, longitudinal matched data of 741 ewes and 2978 lambs were collected at the North Wyke Farm Platform, a farm-scale grazing trial in Devon, UK, between 2011 and 2019. A subset of these data was subsequently analysed in a study to assess the feasibility of using a lamb's early-life liveweight as a predictor of carcass quality [1]. The data also have the potential to offer insight into key performance indicators (KPIs) for the sheep industry, or what variables farmers should measure and target to increase profitability.
随着对动物源食品的需求不断增长，以及对与畜牧业相关的气候影响的严重关切，全球养羊业面临着在提高资源利用效率的同时增加总体产品供应这一艰巨挑战。作为确定动物生长和胴体品质背后关键驱动因素的研究证据基础，2011年至2019年期间，在英国德文郡的一个农场规模的放牧试验——北怀克农场平台上，收集了741只母羊和2978只羔羊的纵向匹配数据。随后，在一项评估将羔羊早期体重作为胴体品质预测指标的可行性的研究中，对这些数据的一个子集进行了分析[1]。这些数据还有潜力为养羊业的关键绩效指标（KPI）提供见解，或者为农民应该测量和设定哪些变量以提高盈利能力提供参考。
