Estimates of genetic parameters and genetic trends for live weight and fleece traits in Menz sheep
Menz sheep are indigenous to the highlands of Ethiopia, and highly valued for their meat and wool production. The area is characterized as a low input mixed barley-sheep production system. In 1998, a selection experiment was setup to evaluate the response of Menz. sheep to selection for yearling liv...
