Methane, growth and carcase considerations when breeding for more efficient Merino sheep production

Feed intake, methane and feed efficiency have important genetic correlations with growth, carcase weights and mature size that need to be considered when breeding for production whilst reducing feed requirements and methane production in the Australian sheep industry. Live weight, growth, fat and mu...
