Environmental and genetic trends in clean fleece mass, live mass and fiber diameter in selection and control flocks involving a selection experiment for increased clean fleece mass in South African Merino sheep
This study was undertaken to investigate the genetic stability of an unselected Conlrol Group of South African Merino sheep and genetic change in a flock selected for increased clean fleece mass (Selection Group) under the same environmental conditions. Data regarding 14-17 months clean fleece mass...
