Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to detect genomic regions and genes associated with gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) resistance in Pelibuey sheep, based in deworming necessity (NOD) estimated by fecal egg count (FEC). During a ten-months period, deworming criterion was based on GIN eggs per gram (EPG), then animals exceeding 1000 EPG were dewormed, and individuals were classified as cases (dewormed at least once) or...
