Genetic factors controlling wool shedding in a composite Easycare sheep flock.

Animal genetics - 1 Dec 2013

Matika O, Bishop S C, Pong-Wong R, Riggio V, Headon D J

Abstract excerpt

Historically, sheep have been selectively bred for desirable traits including wool characteristics. However, recent moves towards extensive farming and reduced farm labour have seen a renewed interest in Easycare breeds. The aim of this study was to quantify the underlying genetic architecture of wool shedding in an Easycare flock. Wool shedding scores were collected from 565 pedigreed commercial Easycare sheep...
