Genetic and Economic Implications of Fetal Effects on the Dam
نویسندگان
چکیده
The genetic model for fetal effect on production of the dam is described, and studies on genetic and economic implications are reviewed. The effect on production from the sire of the cowhas 1.58 to 3.02 times as much economic value as the effect from the sire of the fetus. The use of mate records in evaluating a sire in addit ion to daughter records could increase economic gain from selection by 1 to 2% depending on the variation from sire of fetus. Mate records alone do not appear valuable for sire selection. About 1% of the variation in milk yield appears to be due to the effect of sire of fetus as indicated by a summary of various estimates and from consideration of the data and methods used to obtain the estimates. The correlation between effects of sire of fetus and sire of cow appears to be nearly zero. A method of jo int evaluation of bulls as sires of cows or as sires of fetuses is described.

The Fetal Origins Hypothesis (FOH), put forward in the epidemiological literature and later flourished in the economics literature, suggests that the time in utero is a critical period for human development.

The study of seismic behavior of concrete dams has been considered by many researchers due to the importance of dam safety during earthquakes. Because the destruction of these structures by earthquakes can have adverse economic and social effects. On the other hand, predicting the behavior of concrete dams during an earthquake is one of the most complex and difficult issues in structural dynami...
