Genetic variation and prediction of additive and nonadditive genetic effects for six carcass traits in an Angus-Brahman multibreed herd.
Estimates of covariances and sire expected progeny differences of additive and nonadditive genetic effects for six carcass traits were obtained using records from 486 straightbred and crossbred steers from 121 sires born between 1989 and 1995 in the Angus-Brahman multibreed herd of the University of Florida. Steers were slaughtered at a similar carcass composition end point. Covariances were es...
متن کاملThe expression of additive and nonadditive genetic variation under stress.
Experimental lines of Drosophila melanogaster derived from a natural population, which had been isolated in the laboratory for approximately 70 generations, were crossed to determine if the expression of additive, dominance and epistatic genetic variation in development time and viability was associated with the environment. No association was found between the level of additive genetic effects...
متن کاملAdditive and nonadditive genetic variability for growth traits in the Turipaná Romosinuano-Zebu multibreed herd.
Intrabreed additive genetic, environmental, and phenotypic variances and covariances for Romosinuano (R) and Zebu (Z), as well as interbreed nonadditive genetic variances and covariances (sire x breed-group-of-dam interactions), for birth weight (BWT), weaning weight (WW), and postweaning gain (GW) were computed using a Romosinuano-Zebu multibreed data set from the Turipaná Experiment Station i...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental relationships between body condition score and milk production traits in Canadian Holsteins.
The objective of this research was to estimate genetic parameters of first-lactation body condition score (BCS), milk yield, fat percentage (Fat%), protein percentage (Prot%), somatic cell score (SCS), milk urea nitrogen (MUN), lactose percentage (Lact%), and fat to protein ratio (F:P) using multiple-trait random regression animal models. Changes in covariances between BCS and milk production t...
متن کاملand Nonadditive Genetic Variation for Production
Additive and dominance genetic variances were estimated for milk and fat yield in Canadian Holsteins using deriva-tivefree REML procedures. Traits were analyzed under two sire and dam models differing in assumptions on the data structure. Within herd, dam relationships were first defined to be hierarchical within sire to estimate the two genetic variances, assuming no maternal, epistatic geneti...
