Genetic and economic efficiencies of alternative breeding schemes for improvement of local breeds in low-input production systems: The case of the Farta sheep in Northwest Ethiopia
Designing and implementing a sound breeding program is essential for sustainably improving livestock productivity. This study evaluated the efficiencies of three breeding schemes for sustainable genetic improvement of indigenous sheep in low-input production systems. The schemes were one-stage selec...
