Sheep - Meat RATES OF GENETIC GAIN IN NEW ZEALAND SHEEP
Rates of genetic gain in New Zealand sheep doubled in 140 Dual Purpose flocks, from 30 to 60 cents/yr, and 62 Terminal Sire flocks, from 35 to 60 cents/yr, after establishment of the Sheep Improvement Ltd (SIL) genetic evaluation system in 1999.

متن کاملAssessing Imputation Accuracy Using a 15k Low Density Panel in a Multi-breed New Zealand Sheep Population

A 5K LD panel has been employed commercially in New Zealand. This study investigated the accuracy of imputation to 50K and High Density (HD) panels using a new 15K panelbeing de...
