Occurring naturally in Spring, the whole fleece or a significant portion of the fleece can be shed. Assessed through visual shedding scores, the degree of genetic variation in wool-shedding ability exhibited moderate to strong genetic variation in UK and American flocks (Pollot 2011; Matika et al. 2013; Vargas Juardo et al. 2020). This study aims to conduct preliminary genetic analysis of wool-shedding ability in an Australian composite flock. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AAAS 2021: 33rd Biennial Conference of the Australian Association of Animal Sciences, Fremantle, Australia, 1st - 3rd February, 2021 | Source of Publication: | Animal Production Science, 61(3), p. lxxxii-lxxxii | Publisher: | CSIRO Publishing | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1836-5787 1836-0939 0728-5965 |
