Publication Date: | 2010 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/8884 | Abstract: | Introduction: • Breech fly strike is a major problem - Mulesing has been used as a control method - Being phased out due to welfare concerns • Breeding for resistance through indicator traits - Wrinkle, wool cover and colour, dags and fleece rot • Require correlations between indicator and production traits • Across v within flock effects also an issue ... Importance of Visual Traits: • Main goal to increase breech strike resistance • Other goals - Easy care sheep - Reduced urine stain - Reduced crutching - Reduced reliance on chemicals - Improved wool quality | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | Sheep CRC 2010: Sheep CRC Research Conference: Transforming Wool, Meat & the Sheep that produce them, Adelaide, Australia, 20th - 21st October, 2010 | Source of Publication: | Presented at the Sheep CRC Conference | Publisher: | Sheep CRC | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830311 Sheep - Wool 830310 Sheep - Meat |
