project continues to be a major component of the
CRSP activities in Indonesia.
Linkages and Networking
The improved communication with the
Ivlaysian Agricultural Research and Development
Institute (MARDI) has led to an agreement
for exchange of scientific information and
collaboration in efforts to import new germ
plasm from Barbados (Barbados Blackbelly
Sheep).
The work done in Indonesia has received
recognition in the scientific community, particularly
via the IPS Workshop; also, the PI was
invited to present a paper on the prolificacy
gene in Javanese sheep at an International
Workshop on major genes affecting reproduction
in sheep.
