The genetic basis for the selection of dairy goats with enhanced resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes

The genetic basis for the selection of dairy goats with enhanced resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes

Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) severely affect small ruminant production worldwide. Increasing problems of anthelmintic resistance have given strong impetus to the search for alternative strategies to control GIN. Selection of animals with an enhanced resistance to GIN has been shown to be success...
