an estimation of discounted genetic expressions of dairy traits in iranian holstein herds
the objective of this study was to assess the discounted genetic expressions (dges) for different categories of animal traits as regards holstein cattle of iran. using discounted gene-flow principles, dges per calf born were estimated for self replacing females and also for their sires. in the situation for sires of self replacing females, relative gdes per cow per year for annual cow traits, t...
متن کاملApplication of myostatin in sheep breeding programs: A review
Myostatin or growth and differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), has been known as the factor causing double muscling phenotypes in which a series of mutations make the myostatin protein inactive, hence disabling it to regulate the deposition of muscle fibre. This phenotype happens with high frequency in a breed of sheep known as the Texel. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) studies show that a portion of t...
متن کاملEconomic values in broiler breeding.
The objectives of this study were to derive economic values in broiler breeding and to determine their relationship with production circumstances. Economic values were derived using a deterministic economic model based on profit equations with a fixed amount of broiler meat output of the production system. Nonintegrated and the integrated broiler production systems were studied. The difference ...
متن کاملImplementation of molecular markers for quantitative traits in breeding programs - challenges and opportunities
Molecular marker assisted selection (MAS) has been touted as a means to improve the efficiency and speed of plant selection programs. The most widespread use of MAS to date is to assist backcrossing of major genes into already proven, elite cultivars. Markers can aid selection for target alleles that are not easily assayed in individual plants, minimize linkage drag around the target gene, and ...
متن کاملNear-infrared reflectance spectroscopy predictions as indicator traits in breeding programs for enhanced beef quality.
The aims of this study were 1) to investigate the potential application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to predict beef quality (BQ) traits, 2) to assess genetic variations of BQ measures and their predictions obtained by NIRS, and 3) to infer the genetic relationship between measures of BQ and their predictions. Young Piedmontese bulls (n = 1,230) were raised and fattened on 124 farms and...
