Defining smallholders' sheep breeding objectives using farmers trait preferences versus bio-economic modelling
In this study we defined smallholders’ sheep breeding objectives using farmers’ trait preferences through a proportional-piling tool and a bio-economic model to evaluate the congruence between the two breeding objectives. We took Menz sheep of Ethiopia as a case study. Multinomial logistic regressio...
