Abstract: | Phenotypic and genetic correlations (rg) between breech cover and wrinkle scores with lamb survival were estimated from research (Cooperative Research Centre for Sheep Industry Innovation (Sheep CRC) Information Nucleus (IN)) and industry data (Sheep Genetics (SG) MERINOSELECT). Breech cover had low to moderate antagonistic rg (0.24 to 0.53) with direct lamb survival, despite favourable rg with some lamb survival indicator traits. While there was some inconsistency in the direction of rg at the various age expressions of wrinkle and direct lamb survival, the rg between wrinkle and lamb survival tended to be negative and favourable. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AAABG 2015: 21st Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Lorne, Australia, 28th - 30th September, 2015 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, v.21, p. 354-357 | Publisher: | Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics (AAABG) | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | ISSN: | 1328-3227 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300305 Animal reproduction and breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830311 Sheep - Wool | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 100413 Sheep for wool | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.aaabg.org/aaabghome/proceedings21.php |
