Combined genomic evaluation of Merino and Dohne Merino Australian sheep populations
We found promising results for the future transition of the Dohne breed from pedigree to genomic selection. A combined genomic evaluation, with the MERINOSELECT evaluation in addition to using metafounders, is expected to enhance the quality of genomic predictions for the Dohne Merino breed.
