Preliminary evidence for genetic resistance to endoparasites in Menz and Horro lambs in the highlands of Ethiopia
The Menz and Horro highland sheep breeds are being evaluated at the ILCA Debre Birhan research station in Ethiopia for between-and within-breed genetic variation for resistance to internal parasites. The experimental design involves mating, for each breed, 150 ewes with 10 rams to lamb at the beginn...
