Genetic opportunities to improve lamb weaning rates in Merinos

This is the catalogue record for a paper the old Livestock Library listed. We have not written a summary of it yet. The panel gives its full citation and, where we could confirm one, a link to where it can be read today.

It belongs to the AAABG Conference Proceedings collection, published in the Proceedings of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics.
