Exploring genetic variation in potential indicators of resilience in sheep using fibre diameter measured along the wool staple.

Abstract excerpt

Production animals are increasingly exposed to a wide variety of disturbances that can compromise their productivity, health and well-being. As a result, there is a growing need to be able to select animals that are more resilient to environmental disturbances. Fibre diameter variation measured along a wool staple is expected to contain information about how resilient sheep are to the disturbances of their...
