Genetic and non-genetic factors affecting morphometry of Sirohi goats

AIM The aim was to estimate genetic and non-genetic factors affecting morphometric traits of Sirohi goats under field condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS The detailed information of all animals on body measurements at birth, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of age was collected from farmer's flock under field condition born during 2007-2013 to analyze the effect of genetic and non-genetic factors. The lea...

Effects of Genetic and Non-genetic Factors on Body Weight and Carcass Related Traits in Two Strains of Japanese Quails

The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of genetic and non-genetic factors on body weight and carcass traits of Japanese quails. Two strains of Japanese quail (150 wild quails and 150 white quails) were used as base population. Four mating groups were used to produce progenies: wild male × wild female, white male × wild female, wild male × white female and white male × white ...

Genetic and non-genetic factors affecting birth-weight and adult Body Mass Index.

Birthweight affects neonatal mortality and morbidity and has been used as a marker of foetal undernutrition in studies of prenatal effects on adult characteristics. It is potentially influenced by genetic and environmental influences on the mother, and effects of foetal genotype, which is partially derived from the maternal genotype. Interpretations of variation in birthweight and associated ch...
