Name |
Alpaca across-herd genetic evaluation to achieve commercially viable fleece |
|---|---|
Summary |
unknown |
Program |
Rare Natural Animal Fibres |
Research organisation |
New South Wales Department of Industry and Investment for and on behalf of the State of NSW |
Objective summary |
1. Establish an Across-herd Genetic Evaluation (AGE) system and commercial AGE service that will allow effective use of all genetic resources and emerging artificial breeding technology so that industry genetic progress is maximised. 2. Establish and conduct an industry driven on-farm performance recording system and AGE training program for breeders and commercial producers. 3. Utilise the AGE database to establish and maintain genetic parameters for commercial production traits. |
