Abstract

Carcass value and its components were evaluated for a range of Merino sires based on progeny performance in diverse climates and production systems. Sire adjusted means for carcass value had a range of $31.33 under a mixed farming system while the range under a fine wool production system was $62.48. This preliminary analysis shows that considerable variation exists in carcass value of individual Merino sires when based on a simple economic model.

Conference

Conference	24th Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics
Abbreviated title	Widening the range of technologies used in animal breeding and genetics
Period	02/11/21 → 04/11/21
Other	The theme of the 24th Conference is ‘Widening the range of technologies used in animal breeding and genetics’ with an emphasis on the many new tools that are now available to improve animal breeding programs. These tools range from novel methods for developing additional phenotypes to innovative molecular approaches to increase the accuracy of genetic selection. Despite the changed conditions that many delegates have found themselves working under during the last 18 months, I am delighted to note that this has not slowed down the contribution of papers to AAABG. Overall, we have well over 140 papers for presentation at the 24th conference.
