Publication Date: | 2006 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/9130 | Abstract: | Performance measurements in commercial sheep flocks can improve production in the short-term, contribute to genetic gain and can be used to target specific markets and implement precision management. The benefits of performance measurement for enterprises that produce wool, prime lambs or both are discussed. Measurement of fibre diameter may increase income from wool, and measurement of liveweight may increase income from meat; additional benefits can be realised from other performance measurements. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | Sheep CRC 2006: 2006 Australian Sheep Industry CRC Conference, Orange, Australia, 22nd - 23rd February, 2006 | Source of Publication: | International Journal of Sheep and Wool Science, 54(1), p. 56-60 | Publisher: | University of New England | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | ISSN: | 1832-8679 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830311 Sheep - Wool 830310 Sheep - Meat |
