Testing new selection indices for sustainable hill sheep production - lamb performance traits
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2017
Extract
Hill sheep breeds are required to survive and rear lambs in harsh conditions, and good maternal characteristics contribute to their success. However, improved carcass characteristics are also required to meet market requirements. This paper evaluates lamb performance characteristics after 4 years of selection using indexes tailored to improve overall productivity in different hill sheep production systems.
