Increasing accuracy in estimation of economic values for resistance to gastrointestinal helminths in meat sheep.

Tropical animal health and production - 1 Mar 2010

Gicheha M G, Bett R C

Abstract excerpt

The impact of utilising different indices and numbers of index traits in estimation of economic values (EVs) for resistance to gastrointestinal (GI) helminths were investigated. Seven indices based on yearling weight (YW), litter size (LS) and ewe live weight (ELW) were evaluated under a scheme that considered individual records (Scheme 1) and one that utilised extra information from individual's relatives...
