Genetic parameters of animal traits associated with coccidian and nematode parasite load and growth in Scottish Blackface sheep.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 Apr 2021

Pacheco A, McNeilly T N, Banos G, Conington J

Abstract excerpt

Gastrointestinal parasitism is a global problem for grazing ruminants which can be addressed in a sustainable way through breeding animals to be more resistant to disease. This study estimates the genetic parameters of common and new disease phenotypes associated with natural nematode and coccidian infection in Scottish Blackface sheep to underpin future genetic improvement strategies for parasite control.
