文摘

This study compared indigenous Mongol and Mongol-Barga cross-bred sheep. Cross-bred individuals have higher live weight and lower winter weight loss. GHG emission intensity of the two flock types is similar. Management practices also influence live weight gain, weight loss and GHG intensity. Climate-smart breeding programs should also aim to improve management practices.
