Genetic Testing for Defects and Performance Measures in Junior Livestock Show Hogs
نویسنده
چکیده
Junior livestock projects provide excellent opportunities for education and positive agricultural experiences for youth. As genetic testing advances become widely available to livestock producers, youth benefit by learning about the benefits and applications of genetic testing. Market and replacement hogs can be tested for genetic defects and for performance characteristics which influence reproduction, weight gains, livestock performance and meat quality.

متن کاملارائه یک روش فازی-تکاملی برای تشخیص خطاهای نرمافزار
Software defects detection is one of the most important challenges of software development and it is the most prohibitive process in software development. The early detection of fault-prone modules helps software project managers to allocate the limited cost, time, and effort of developers for testing the defect-prone modules more intensively. In this paper, according to the importance of soft...
متن کاملA New Fuzzy Method for Assessing Six Sigma Measures
Six-Sigma has some measures which measure performance characteristics related to a process. In most of the traditional methods, exact estimation is used to assess these measures and to utilize them in practice. In this paper, to estimate some of these measures, including Defects per Million Opportunities (DPMO), Defects per Opportunity (DPO), Defects per unit (DPU) and Yield, a new algorithm ba...
متن کاملEvaluation of Market Advisory Service Performance in Hogs by
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the pricing performance of agricultural market advisory services in hogs. Pricing recommendations are available for all quarters from the beginning of 1995 through the end of 2001. The results show that average differences between advisory programs and market benchmarks are small in nominal terms for all three benchmarks, -$0.41/cwt., $0.00/cwt. and -...
متن کاملThe Pattern of Linkage Disequilibrium in Livestock Genome
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is bases of genomic selection, genomic marker imputation, marker assisted selection (MAS), quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, parentage testing and whole genome association studies. The Particular alleles at closed loci have a tendency to be co-inherited. In linked loci this pattern leads to association between alleles in population which is known as LD. Two metr...
