Genetic Connectedness Between Norwegian White Sheep and New Zealand Composite Sheep Populations With Similar Development History

The Norwegian White sheep (NWS) and New Zealand Terminal Sire Composite (NZC) sheep breeds have been developed based on crossing of multiple breeds, mainly of Northern European origin. A close genetic relationship between these populations could enable across-country genomic evaluations. The main ob...
