[HTML][HTML] Breeding for resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes–the potential in low-input/output small ruminant production systems
The control of gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) is mainly based on the use of drugs, grazing
management, use of copper oxide wire particles and bioactive forages. Resistance to …

Accuracy of pedigree and genomic predictions of carcass and novel meat quality traits in multi-breed sheep data assessed by cross-validation
Background Genomic predictions can be applied early in life without impacting selection
candidates. This is especially useful for meat quality traits in sheep. Carcass and novel meat …

A model‐based approach to characterize individual inbreeding at both global and local genomic scales
Inbreeding results from the mating of related individuals and may be associated with
reduced fitness because it brings together deleterious variants in one individual. In general …
