Productivity and reproductive performance of mixed-age ewes across 20 years of selection for ultrafine wool in Uruguay.
ABSTRACT - This study reports the phenotypic trends for wool, growth, and reproductive traits in mixed-age ewes after twenty years of genetic selection. Data were obtained from the Merino nucleus flock in Uruguay between 1999 and 2020. Overall, the aim of this selection flock was to reduce the fiber...
