Title: | An overview of the Merino Lifetime Productivity Project | Contributor(s): | Ramsay, A M M (author); Swain, B C (author); Swan, A A (author) | Publication Date: | 2018 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/27319 | Related DOI: | 10.1071/ANv58n8abs | Abstract: | The Merino industry has raised a number of concerns about the current practice of selecting animals at a very young age and its association with lifetime production. Further, with the diversification of the Merino to include a combination of wool, carcase, disease resistance and reproduction attributes, there is a need to create a dataset that will allow the quantification of genetic parameters for lifetime production, and to understand the biological and economic trade-offs between these production elements. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | Animal Production 2018: 32nd Biennial Conference of the Australian Society of Animal Production, Wagga Wagga, Australia, 2nd - 4th July, 2018 | Source of Publication: | Animal Production Science, 58(8), p. iv-iv | Publisher: | CSIRO Publishing | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1836-5787 1836-0939 |
