Development of selection strategies for genetic improvement in production traits of Mecheri sheep based on a Bayesian multi trait evaluation

B. Balasundaram, J. Muralidharan, Murali Nagarajan, D. Cauveri, Angamuthu Raja, Moses Okpeku, Aranganoor Kannan Thiruvenkadan

This study uses Bayesian analysis to estimate genetic parameters for production traits in Mecheri sheep and proposes weaning weight as a selection criterion for improving growth traits.
