Understanding parasitic infection in sheep to design more efficient animal selection strategies.

Veterinary journal (London, England : 1997) - 1 Aug 2013

Hunt Peter W, Kijas James, Ingham Aaron

Abstract excerpt

Modern livestock breeding practices provide new opportunities for producing animals that are adapted to their production environment and are free of disease. Using current knowledge of biology and by seeking 'the desired outcome' animal selection strategies can be designed that deliver more precisely defined results so maximising genetic gain and minimising risk. This review briefly describes the evolution of...
