Estimating the Value of Including Resilience in a Multi-Trait Selection Index Designed for Australian Merino Sheep.

Journal of animal breeding and genetics = Zeitschrift fur Tierzuchtung und Zuchtungsbiologie - 1 Mar 2026

Smith Erin G, Walkom Samuel F, Clark Sam A

Abstract excerpt

General resilience in livestock can be estimated from the variability in longitudinal data and may support balanced breeding objectives by helping animals better cope with environmental stress. However, its economic value and inclusion within multi-trait selection indexes remain largely unexplored. Current genetic improvement programs for sheep primarily focus on wool growth, reproduction and lean meat...
