Sheep Thriving In Feeding Trial Of Genetically Modified Lupins Date: January 1, 2001 Source: CSIRO Australia Summary: Increased wool growth and live weight gain in Merino sheep are the results of ...

Researchers at CSIRO revealed that they have finally managed to complete the first sequencing of the entire sheep genome eight years after starting the work.

Sheep shearers in Australia will be able to measure the fiber diameter of their wool with a portable laser-based device developed at CSIRO Textile and Fibre Technology Division, of Belmont, Victoria.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists from CSIRO are part of an international team that today launched a new genomic tool which is set to transform the future selection and breeding of sheep around the world.

Increased wool growth and live weight gain in Merino sheep are the results of a recent Australian feeding trial using genetically modified lupins. The CSIRO trial explored nutritional benefits of ...

"It is possible for wool growers to identify and select sheep that naturally produce low-shrinkage wool," says Tony Schlink of CSIRO. His team measured the felting - how much wool shrinks in the ...

Peeling wool off 'like an orange' The Adelaide University research team, led by Phil Hynd, has been working on the zein protein technology that is based on research initially carried out by the CSIRO.

The sheep genome has been sequenced after an eight-year collaboration involving 26 institutions from eight countries. The International Sheep Genomics Consortium, led by CSIRO researchers, focused ...

CSIRO scientists have moved a step closer to developing a novel DNA test which has the potential to revolutionise management of one of the biggest threats to sheep health in Australia, the barber ...
