Sheep Genetics is the national genetic information and evaluation service for the meat and wool sectors of the sheep industry delivered as LAMBPLAN and MERINOSELECT. The purpose of Sheep Genetics is to improve the quality, scope and utilisation of across-flock, and where appropriate, across breed genetic information for the Australian sheep industry.
Backed by quality assurance procedures and minimum accuracy standards, Sheep Genetics hosts a database of some 3 million animals, reflecting data from more than 1000 flocks around Australia. Together with the Australian sheep industry, MLA and AWI have facilitated genetic evaluation for prime lamb and wool producers.

The ASBV for Early Breech Wrinkle was launched on September 15, by Brenda McGahan CEO of AWI and Sam Gill Manager of Sheep Genetics. This breeding value is the result of five years of research and is indicative of the ongoing commitment of industry to address the complex health and welfare problem and a further illustration of Australian sheep producers investment in enhancing flystrike prevention alternatives.
