Prospects of breeding small ruminants for resistance to internal parasites.

International journal for parasitology - 1 Jan 2000

Woolaston R R, Baker R L

Abstract excerpt

Resistance to nematode parasites can be improved by selection, but efforts to include appropriate traits in commercial livestock breeding programs are only a recent development. Procedures for including resistance in breeding programs are similar to those involving other traits. The steps are described with special reference to sheep, and areas are highlighted where particular considerations exist. Three...
