Depicting latent variables considering different pig genetics and nutritional plans in crossbred pigs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We aimed to reduce the dimensionality of quantitative traits in pigs applying factor analysis. Quantitative variables were collected, and analysis extracted five factors with biological meaning related performance, carcass quality, yield, meat initial pH. These posteriorly used as dependent variable evaluate effects genetic groups (Piau, Duroc, Pietrain crossbreds), nutritional plans (low, medium high lysine levels) sex. An interaction effect between group sex was [...]

Cytogenetic Studies in Crossbred Pigs
Karyological investigation pertaining to 30 crossbred pigs (both sexes) maintained at AICRP, Tirupati was undertaken in order to study the chromosomal profile of the crossbred pigs and their morphometric measurements. The cells had the usual diploid complement of 38 chromosomes (2n = 38) and a fundamental number of 64 as in the exotic pigs with XY complement in males and XX complement in female...
متن کاملGenetics of crossbred sow longevity.
The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for longevity from Swedish crossbred sows to investigate the possibilities of selecting for this trait. Data were collected from 16 commercial piglet-producing herds, on crossbred (Landrace × Yorkshire) sows farrowing in the period 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2004. The data set with records on 10 373 sows was split into two sets accordi...
متن کاملLatent variables in econometrics
Unobservable variables in econometrics are represented in one of three ways: by variables contaminated by measurement errors, by proxy variables, or by various manifest indicators and/or causes. This paper contains a discussion of models involving each of these representations, and highlights certain interesting implications that have been ‘insufficiently emphasized or completely unrecognized i...
متن کاملLatent variables and structural equation models for longitudinal relationships: an illustration in nutritional epidemiology
BACKGROUND The use of structural equation modeling and latent variables remains uncommon in epidemiology despite its potential usefulness. The latter was illustrated by studying cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between eating behavior and adiposity, using four different indicators of fat mass. METHODS Using data from a longitudinal community-based study, we fitted structural equ...
متن کاملNutritional Composition in Bone Extracts from Jeju Crossbred Horses at Different Slaughter Ages
The effects of slaughter age (28, 32, or 38 mon) on the proximate composition, collagen content, fatty acid composition, amino acid content, and mineral contents of horse leg bone (femur and tibia) extracts (HLBE) obtained from Jeju crossbred horses (n=14) in Korea. HLBE was extracted for 24 h with boiling water. At those ages, the respective proximate compositions of the HLBE were found as fol...
