Limits to the individual animal's fibre production : the scope of genetic improvement in the Australian Merino

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 Australian Association of Animal Breeding and Genetics.
