Performance evaluation of Gurez sheep in farmer’s flocks—A threatened sheep breed of Kashmir
Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2021 Gurez is an indigenous breed of sheep native to the Gurez Valley of J&K, India. Despite being a unique genetic resource, this breed is largely unexplored and meagre studies have been conducted on it.

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021 Background Imputation to whole-genome sequence is now possible in large sheep populations. It is therefore of interest to use this data in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to investigate putative causal variants and genes that underpin economically

Whole-Genome Resequencing Reveals Selection Signal Related to Sheep Wool Fineness
Animals, 2023 Wool fineness affects the quality of wool, and some studies have identified about forty candidate genes that affect sheep wool fineness, but these genes often reveal only a certain proportion of the variation in wool thickness.

Genetic parameters for yearling wool production, wool quality and bodyweight traits in fine wool Merino sheep [PDF]
Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 2008 Genetic parameters were estimated for traits measured in the first year of production in a multi-bloodline flock of fine wool Merino sheep. Between 5025 and 9271 animals were measured, depending on the trait, and these animals were the progeny of up to 430 sires.

SELECTION INDEX FOR WOOL IMPROVEMENT IN BARKI SHEEP [PDF]
Journal of Animal and Poultry Production, 2016 The present study was carried out to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for some subjective and objective wool traits to develop a suitable selection index for wool improvement in Barki sheep. Over 937 fleeces were obtained from three Barki sheep

Genetic parameters of wool colour and skin traits in Corriedale sheep
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2003 Clean wool colour (CWC) is an important wool price determinant and has been related to suint characteristics, i.e. sudoriparous and sebaceous gland secretions, such as suint percentage and suint K content.

EFFECT OF AGE AND BODY REGION ON SOME PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL TRAITS OF AWASSI EWES WOOL [PDF]
Mesopotamia Journal of Agriculture, 2011 Fleece traits have an economic importance in sheep, and they are influenced by fiber traits. The age of sheep and body region which samples are taken have an importance on the traits studied. The study involved 24 Awassi ewes aged 3 to 6 years at college
