Optimization of alternative breeding schemes for the genetic improvement of common Tigray highland sheep in northern Ethiopia
Genetic improvement is one of the major means to enhance the productivity of livestock, and well-designed animal genetic improvement schemes are necessary to achieve genetic gains. The objective of the current study was to design an alternative breeding program to improve the productivity of common...
