Abstract

The question of the possible effect of the age of parents on the quality of the offspring which they produce has long been a disputed one. It is held by some that the ages of both parents act together in determining the quality of offspring. There are others who maintain that the age of the dam only is a factor and still others who believe that only the age of the sire need be considered in this connection.
