Genetic parameters of animal traits associated with coccidian and nematode parasite load and growth in Scottish Blackface sheep
Gastrointestinal parasitism is a global problem for grazing ruminants which can be addressed in a sustainable way through breeding animals to be more resistant to disease. This study estimates the genetic parameters of common and new disease phenotypes associated with natural nematode and coccidian...
