Genetic parameter estimates for growth and reproductive trait of sheep for genetic improvement and designing breeding program in Ethiopia: A review
Small ruminants in general and sheep in particular are important investments in the highlands of Ethiopia. Genetic and environmental improvements offer an opportunity to increase production from existing animal resources. Development of effective genetic evaluation and improvement programs requires...
