The aim was to determine an appropriate protocol of artificial fertilization for family construction in the breeding programme based on two trials.
Still, through selection and crossing of nonsusceptible trees, it was possible to develop a resistance breeding programme based on a combination of dominant R-gene(s) conferring hypersensitive response and quantitative resistance expected to be of polygenic nature (King et al. 2010).
This is being exploited in a breeding programme based on the identification of the regulatory and functional genes associated with production of compounds, including 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, that reduce attractiveness of cattle to arthropods (BBSRC grant BB/K007610/1, Defining the genetic and semiochemical basis of tick resistance in cattle).
Further steps can be initiated for a molecular breeding programme based on the vast array of genetic information now available from this study.

This study found no evidence to suggest that a selective breeding programme based on PrP genotype will have a detrimental effect on lamb survival, at least for the ten breeds included.

Selective breeding programmes, based on prion protein (PrP) genotype, have been introduced throughout the European Union to reduce the risk of sheep transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs).
The particular focus of this paper, however, was to investigate associations between PrP genotype and lamb survival, in order to help assess whether there could be deleterious effects of breeding programmes based on PrP genotype selection.
Concerns have been expressed, however, that such large-scale breeding programmes based on one specific factor (in this case, PrP genotype) could have detrimental side-effects on sheep performance.
