System dynamics modeling in designing breeding schemes: The case of Menz sheep in Ethiopian highlands
A comprehensive dynamic simulation model was developed to describe a community-based breeding program for the Menz sheep population of Ethiopia. Selection of male and female animals based on their own and maternal performance was simulated. The breeding goal traits were 6-mo weight, preweaning survi...
