Selection Intensity and Generation Interval in a Flock of Yankasa Sheep
Selection has been a frequent quantitative genetic technique used in livestock improvement programmes. The amount of genetic improvement that can be made by selection depends on the selection applied, the heritability of the trait, the average genetic variation and covariation of all traits directly or indirectly related to the traits under selection and the average age of parents when their offspring are born.
