Our results
suggest that consideration of some skin traits may lead to moderate genetic gains and be worthwhile
including in breeding programs for Strongwool Merinos, but they do not lend support to notions that
consideration of skin traits will produce dramatic increases in fleece weights with concomitant large
decreases in fibre diameter.

CAN SELECTION FOR SKIN TRAITS INCREASE THE RATE OF GENETIC
PROGRESS IN MERINO BREEDING PROGRAMS?
