Genetic parameters for indicators of host resistance to parasites from weaning to hogget age in Merino sheep.

Journal of animal science - 1 Oct 2004

Abstract excerpt

Fecal egg count (FEC) has been widely used as an indicator of host resistance to gastrointestinal parasites in sheep and has been shown to be a heritable trait. Two other possible indicators of parasites, dag score (DS; accumulated fecal material) and fecal consistency score (FCS), were investigated in this study, along with BW. All four traits were studied to see how heritability and genetic correlations varied...
