Genotype x environment interactions and genetic parameters for fecal egg count and production traits of Merino sheep.

Journal of animal science - 1 Oct 2004

Pollott G E, Greeff J C

Abstract excerpt

Breeding for host resistance to parasites has become an imperative in many sheep industries. Because of the widespread use of AI in sheep breeding schemes, it is important to understand how the performance of offspring from rams varies in different flock environments, both for resistance to parasites and key production traits. This study used both variance component and reaction norm models to investigate the...
