Summary
These projects supported the Sheep CRC to engage with leading ram breeders to collect DNA samples on 1,700 young rams. Genotypes were delivered and used in development of genomically enhanced Breeding Values, which were delivered to participating breeders and industry by Sheep Genetics. DNA sample handling processes were further refined and continue to be used by breeders utilising sheep genomic tests.
