“Influence of Dietary Factors and Genetic Markers on Sheep Feed Efficiency, Carcass, and Meat Quality: High Heritability Implies Potential for Genetic Selection”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38112204

This study reveals that feed efficiency, carcass quality, and meat quality in sheep are significantly influenced by both dietary factors and specific genetic markers, with several production traits showing moderate to high heritability, thus suggesting potential for genetic selection.
