Selection and drift reduce genetic variation for milk yield in Manech Tête Rousse dairy sheep
Decreases in genetic variance over generations reduce future genetic gain. We studied the evolution of genetic variance in the dairy sheep breed Manech Tête Rousse, which has been selected for increasingly complex objectives, including, in this order, milk yield, milk contents, scrapie resistance, a...
