Effect of egg weight on hatchability and hatchling weight in Fayoumi, Desi and crossbred (Rhode Island Red X Fayoumi) chickens
Aim: An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of egg weight on hatchability, embryonic deaths and hatchling weight of three rural breeds (Fayoumi, Desi and crossbred (Rhode Island Red X Fayoumi) chickens. Materials and Methods: Three different egg weight groups classified into small: (<41g), medium (41-45g) and large (> 45g) were used in the experiment. A complete randomized design w...
متن کاملHeritability of Body Weight: an Evidence for Obesity?
Excess body weight has reached epidemic proportions globally, with more than 1 billion adults being either overweight or obese. Increase in the body weight has been observed across all age groups. Excess body weight is a multi-factorial and heterogeneous condition that results from alterations of various genes. The inheritance pattern of obesity is thus complex, and environmental factors play a...
متن کاملDivergent selection for four-week body weight in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica): response to selection and realized heritability
The Japanese quail has been utilized as a research species in establishing the genetic relationships that may also be present in other species. Divergent phenotypic selection for 4-wk BW was conducted for three generations in high (HW) and low (LW) lines. Within each line, 50 females and 25 males were selected among 600 birds, based on 4-wk BW. Mean BW at 4 wk of age in the base generation was ...
متن کاملHeritability parameters for some body measurements in Turkish Arabian foals
The aim of the present study was to estimate genetic parameters of body measurements in TurkishArabian foals. Records of wither height, front cannon circumference, heart girth, and body length were usedfor body measurements at birth, 6 months of age, 1-year-old and 2-year-old. Heritability of bodymeasurements of Turkish Arabian foals was estimated by using records of foals sired by stallions wh...
متن کاملHeritability of sudden death syndrome and its associated correlations to ascites and body weight in broilers.
(1) Genetic parameters for the sudden death syndrome (SDS) were estimated in meat-type chickens. Data were collected over 11 generations of selection for body weight within two distinct breeds (Cornish and White Rock). (2) The animal model was used exclusively with linear methods (LM) to estimate genetic parameters. Heritability (h2) of SDS on the liability scale was 0.30 +/- 0.002 and 0.25 +/-...
