An Overview of QTL Research for Growth and Body Composition in a Meishan Cross Population at the Meat Animal Research Center
نویسنده
چکیده
The Meishan pig was imported from China because they excelled in female prolificacy (Young, 1994). The Chinese pigs were also quite useful for genomic analyses as they were phenotypically different from occidental pigs in virtually every trait of importance. Furthermore, due to limited exchange of germplasm between Chinese breeds and other breeds for nearly one thousand years, considerable genetic diversity exists.

Effect of feed restriction on compensatory growth response of young male goats
Forty eight 8-month-old male goats were divided into three groups. In each group, eight goats were feedrestricted for 45, 60 or 75 days, and eight goats served as the control. Restricted groups were fed with a maintenance ration, and the control goats were fed with a ration supporting 50 g of daily weight gain. At the end of restriction period, the restricted goats were offered the same ration ...
متن کاملDetection of single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with ultrasonic backfat depth in a segregating Meishan x White Composite population.
Multiple genomic scans have identified QTL for backfat deposition across the porcine genome. The objective of this study was to detect SNP and genomic regions associated with ultrasonic backfat. A total of 74 SNP across 5 chromosomes (SSC 1, 3, 7, 8, and 10) were selected based on their proximity to backfat QTL or to QTL for other traits of interest in the experimental population. Gilts were al...

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) powder as an herbal feed additive on growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality, jejunal histomorphology, and ileal microbial population in broiler chickens. A total of two hundred twenty one day-old male broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with five treatments and four rep...
