A desired gains approach for the prediction of genetic gain in resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes in a multi‐trait breeding objective in Uruguayan Merino sheep

Abstract: Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) constitute a problem in many sheep production systems, including those in Uruguay, causing reduced productivity and increased expenses. The main strategy to control GIN has consisted of the use of anthelmintics.However, GINs have developed resistance to anthelmintics, reducing their effectiveness. Genetic resistance to GINs has been found in flocks of different breeds. To date, there have been no reports about GINs breaking down genetic resistance in sheep.
