متن کاملNon-Genetic Factors Affecting Grasscutter Production Traits. 1. Growth Traits
This study was conducted at the grasscutter section of the University of Education, Winneba, Ghana, to estimate effects of non-genetic factors on growth traits. Data consisted of records of 502 kids born from 136 does and 40 sires from 2006 to 2010. Feed intake increased (P<0.01) with increasing parity and years, whilst feed efficiency declined (P<0.01) with years. Animals consumed less (P<0.01...
متن کاملGenetic and Non-genetic Factors Affecting Some Reproduction Traits in Tharparkar Cattle
A total of 1385 lactation records of Tharparkar cattle collected from LRS Chandan, Jaisalmer spreading over a period of 33 years were utilized to assess the effects of period and season of birth/calving on age at first calving, calving interval and service period and also studied effect of parity on calving interval and service period. The least-squares means were 1821.86 ± 37.022 days, 414.16 ...

متن کاملGenetic variation at RYR1, IGF2, FUT1, MUC13, and KPL2 mutations affecting production traits in Chinese commercial pig breeds
The identification of causative mutations affecting economically important traits has benefited the worldwide pig industry. We investigated the genetic variation at five loci including RYR1, IGF2, FUT1, MUC13, and KPL2 affecting traits related to production, reproduction, and disease resistance in a sample of 8009 pigs representing 3 commercial breeds (Duroc, Landrace, and Large White) from 28 ...
