This report describes several programs that have been developed by the Sheep CRC to facilitate prediction of the potential effects of alternative flock structures and selection practices. These programs include programs that predict the effects of on-farm fibre measurement, terminal sire mating, proportion of wethers in a flock, simultaneous assortment and lamb growth rate. | 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. 86-90 | 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 | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/20436316 http://www.sheepcrc.org.au/articles/wool-meets-meat--2006-conference-papers--enterprise-planning.php |
