چکیده

this study was carried out to investigate the direct and indirect responses to selection for four-week body weight (4 week body (wk bw)) and four-week breast weight (4 week breast weight (wk brw)) and to determine the genetic contribution of reminder founders to the last generation. a total number of 351 birds were equally allocated to three lines, including two selected lines (s1 and s2 for bw and breast weight, respectively) along with a control (c) line. total net genetic improvement for bw and brw in s1 and s2 lines were 31.6, 7.6 and 28.0 and 7.3 g, respectively. genetic correlations between 4 wk bw and carcass traits (0.85 to 0.95) and phenotypic correlations (0.43 to 0.93) were positively high in s1 and s2 lines. the mean percentage of inbreeding for population and inbred birds in s1 and s2 lines were 0.95, 7.75 and 0.64 and 11.3, respectively. the number of retained founders to the last generation of s1 was more than s2. however, more balance genetic contribution to the last generation was outlined by the founders in s2 line. the bw can be used as a selection criterion to improve the carcass traits because there is a strong correlation between bw and carcass traits, selection for bw is easier to record and also its improvement costs are lower than selection for brw. meanwhile, long term response to selection is needed to preserve alleles from the lowest contributed founders.

Response to Selection for Body Weight in Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

The present studyinvestigated the impact of selection for body weight (BW) on productive performance, predicted BW and genetic improvement of related traits in Japanese quail. Base population, selected parent and F1 progeny were tested. Pens and cages were used for rearing and breeding. A total of 240 birds in two successive generations, 27 sires and 54 dams (as selected parents) were used. Bod...

Divergent 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 ...

Response to family selection and genetic parameters in Japanese quail selected for four week breast weight

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of short-term selection for 4 week breast weight (4wk BRW), and to estimate genetic parameters of body weight, and carcass traits. A selection (S) line and control (C) line was randomly selected from a base population. Data were collected over two consecutive hatches for four generations. A total of 1 135 records from 156 sires and 218 dams ...

Response to selection for feed conversion ratio in Japanese quail.

We investigated the effect of selection for 4-wk feed conversion ratio (FCR) on genetic improvement of FCR, BW, weight gain (WG), feed intake (FI), and residual FI (RFI) in Japanese quail. The F line was selected for reduced FCR and the C line was maintained as a randombred control. In each generation, 35 sires and 70 dams were used as parents for the next generation. Three generations of selec...
