TL;DR: The accuracies observed in this study support the feasibility of genomic selection for growth, carcass and meat quality traits in New Zealand Terminal Sire breeds using the Ovine HD SNP chip.
Genetic parameters of methane emissions determined using portable accumulation chambers in lambs and ewes grazing pasture and genetic correlations with emissions determined in respiration chambers.

TL;DR: The CH4/(CH4 + CO2) ratio was the most similar genetic trait measured using PAC (both lambs and ewes, 63% and 66% selection efficiency, respectively) compared with CH4 yield (g/kg DMI) measured using RC.

TL;DR: The heritability estimates and phenotypic variances for the carcass and meat quality traits of New Zealand sheep populations suggest that most traits, apart from pH and meat yellowness, have sufficient phenotypesic and genetic variation to enable substantial genetic gains to be achieved through selection.

Bone density in sheep: genetic variation and quantitative trait loci localisation.
A. W. Campbell,W. E. Bain,Allan F. McRae,T E Broad,P. D. Johnstone,Ken G. Dodds,B. A. Veenvliet,G. J. Greer,B. C. Glass,A. E. Beattie,N. B. Jopson,John C. McEwan +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that sheep are potentially a useful model for studying the genetics of BD, as they provide a means of circumventing complex environmental factors and are a similar weight to humans.
