An independent validation study of loci associated with nematode resistance in sheep.

Animal genetics - 1 Jun 2018

Abstract excerpt

Gastrointestinal nematode infection is a constraint on sheep production worldwide. Selective breeding programmes to enhance resistance to nematode infection are currently being implemented in a number of countries. Identification of loci associated with resistance to infection or causative mutations for resistance would enable more effective selection. Loci associated with indicator traits for nematode resistance...
