In this paper estimated genetic parameters for ultrasound scan and wool traits at yearling and hogget age are presented for Merino sheep. Results indicate that it is possible to breed Merino sheep that perform well for both ultrasound scan and wool characteristics when both are measured. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AAABG 2005: 16th Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Noosa Lakes, Australia, 25th - 28th September, 2005 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, v.16, p. 32-35 | Place of Publication: | Collingwood, Australia | ISSN: | 1328-3227 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830311 Sheep - Wool | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.aaabg.org/livestocklibrary/2005/032huisman.pdf http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/13321110 |
