Abstract excerpt
The study was carried out in the selected strains of Malpura and Avikalin sheep for nematode resistance versus susceptibility (Malpura resistant: MR, Malpura susceptible: MS, Avikalin resistant: AR and Avikalin susceptible: AS). Strains were selected since 2004 and inter-se breeding followed since year 2007. The objective was to decipher the genetic structure of strains and to estimate genetic parameters for...
