Applications of Molecular Marker Technologies for Genetic Improvement of Sheep Production and Productivity

2026-07-06

Abstract excerpt

Sheep production contributes substantially to global food security and rural livelihoods by providing meat, milk, wool, skins, and other valuable products. Genetic improvement of economically important traits, including growth, reproduction, carcass quality, milk production, disease resistance, and environmental adaptation, is fundamental to increasing productivity and sustainability in sheep production systems.
