evaluation of environmental effect on baluchi lamb survival between birth day and weaning
lamb survival is one of the major factors affecting overall sheep productivity. lamb survival affected by environmental effect such as management, birth-type, year, season of birth, dam-age, maternal behavior, genotype of parents, and birth-weight. the data comprised 9989 records were collected from 1989 to 2009 in iranian baluchi sheep at abbasabad sheep breeding station. four binary traits cr...
متن کاملA study of factors affecting survival from birth to weaning and total weaning weight of the litter in swine.
University of Minnesota p RODUCTIVITY in brood sows during the pre-weaning period is measured by fertility, survival of the pigs born, and milk production. All three of these factors contribute to a large extent to the total weaning weight of the respective litters and are of individual economic importance to the hog producer. Therefore, from the breeder's standpoint, it is important to know to...
متن کاملMetabolic maturity at birth and neonate lamb survival: association among maternal factors, litter size, lamb birth weight, and plasma metabolic and endocrine factors on survival and behavior.
This paper reports an investigation into metabolic and endocrine maturity in the neonate lamb and the relationships between litter size, birth weight, and maternal metabolic and endocrine variables on behavior at birth and survival over the first 72 h of life. Data were from multiparous, fine-wool Merino ewes (n = 150; equal numbers of single-lamb and twin-lamb bearing status) lambed on pasture...
متن کاملEvaluation of environmental factors affecting birth, weaning and yearling traits in Navajo sheep.
s ELECTION of genetically superior individuals to be parents of the next generation is hampered by environmental factors that tend to mask the actual breeding values of the individuals being selected. The contribution of these environmental effects to the total phenotypic variation should be minimized before estimating the genetic parameters (Hazel and Terrill, 1945a). Factors known to predomin...
متن کاملEnvironmental and genetic factors affecting the weaning-estrus interval in sows.
We examined the effects of environmental and genetic factors on the weaning-to-estrus interval (WEI) in sows. In order to perform the analyses of the environmental factors, 8104 observations of the 1st to the 6th WEI were carried out, while 6548 observations of the 1st to the 3rd WEI were carried out for the analyses of genetic factors. The environmental model included as fixed effects, he...
