SMARTER - SMAll RuminanTs breeding for Efficiency and Resilience

Project Details

Description

Smarter’s objective is to study how genetic selection can help to increase resilience and efficiency (R&E) in small ruminants (sheep and goats) in their rearing environments, across a range of diverse environments and production systems, and make their raising more sustainable.
