Congruence between selection on breeding values and farmers’ selection criteria in sheep breeding under conventional nucleus breeding schemes
Designing breeding schemes suitable for smallholder livestock production systems in developing regions has hitherto been a challenge. The suggested schemes either do not address farmers’ breeding goals (centralized station-based nucleus schemes) or yield slow genetic progress (village-based schemes)...
