Trangie QPLU$ Merinos - Open Day proceedings
The Trangie QPLU$ Project is a Merino breeding project that was initiated in 1992. As Merino breeding technology has been developed, the use of objective measurement is now easier and more affordable. The subject of objective measurement and the selection of sheep based on these measurements have raised questions in the wool industry:
- What sort of genetic gains are possible?
- What will happen to non-measured characteristics like wool style and conformation?
- How can we find a balance between measured and visual selection?
- What do we need to measure and what information do we need to record?
The Trangie QPLU$ Project has provided information to answer these and other questions. See the Trangie QPLU$ Project newsletter, A few selected lines.
A series of open days has allowed Merino breeders and producers to see for themselves the progressive results of this project and the progeny generated by each selection line. The results have focused on selection responses in young animals.
