Resumen:

The objective of this study is to explore the potential of including genomic information and its effect on selection response in the three main UK sheep breeding sectors; hill, longwool, and terminal sheep breeds. Different training and effective population sizes were simulated and the inclusion of new production efficiency traits was also tested.
