Genetic Correlations Between Fleece Shedding and Production Traits Indicate Minimal Trade‐Offs When Breeding for Maternal Shedding Sheep

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fleece shedding is becoming an increasingly important trait in sheep production systems focused on meat and dairy, where wool has limited economic value and reducing shearing costs is desirable. For inclusion in breeding programmes, a trait must exhibit genetic variation, sufficient heritability, and have well‐defined relationships with other ...

Energy Security, Green Finance, and Adoption of Communication Technology Increase Food Production in ASEAN‐5 Economies, While Climate Change Reduces Gains

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change has become a major global concern and poses a significant threat to food security. To address this challenge, this study investigates the energy‐green finance‐food security nexus under environmental degradation and assesses how progress on SDG‐7 (Energy) and SDG‐13 (Climate) shapes SDG‐2 (Zero Hunger) in the ASEAN‐5 economies ...
