in this study test-day records of milk (kg), fat (g), and protein (g) yields, somatic cell score (scs, cells/ml) collected by animal breeding center of iran during 2007 and 2009 were used to estimate genetic parameters using random regression model. models with different order of legendre polynomials were compared using bayesian information criterion (bic).for milk, fat yield and scs genetic an...

in this study the data of 2332 lambs from 815 dams and 61 sires, collected during 1993-2004 in kermani sheep breeding station were used to estimate phenotypic, genetic and environmental trends for birth weight (bw), weaning weight (ww), 6 months weight (6mw), 9 months weight (9mw) and yearling weight (yw). heritability estimates were determined for each trait using derivative free reml procedur...

The results showed that the Holstein BTN1A1gene has two alleles (A allele ) which is superior to second (B )in values of substitution effect and average allele, homo genotype AA over hetero AB was successful in breeding value traits. It also revealed through new equations gene responsible for characteristic milk production total output amount 37725 Iraqi dinars full price, it affects by ±7.24 d...

Lactation is a dynamic process, which evolved to meet dietary demands of growing offspring. At the same time, the mother's metabolism changes to meet the high requirements of nutrient supply to the offspring. Through strong artificial selection, the strain of milk production on dairy cows is often associated with impaired health and fertility. This led to the incorporation of functional traits ...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the morphometric and reproductive traits of indigenous dairy goat types. it was conducted in three districts (ebnat, gonji-kolela and farta) based on the agro-ecological differences, goat population potentials and experience of the farmers using goat milk. semi-structured questionnaires, field observations, morphological and reproductive trait measure...

Models with different order of Legendre polynomials were compared using Bayesian information criterion (BIC).For milk, fat yield and SCS genetic an...

The aim of this study was to investigate effects of DGAT1, OPN and PPARGC1A candidate genes on milk production traits in Iranian Holstein cattle. Several papers have studied single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their association with economic traits in dairy cows, but the combined effect of these genes has not been examined in Iranian Holstein cattle population. Blood samples were collect...

in this study, production, reproduction, managerial, and economic parameters obtained from data recorded for lori-bakhtiari flock of sheep (500 heads of breeding ewe) stationed at the sheep's breeding station, were employed to determine the relative economic values of and breeding objectives for an annual cycle of production, in village system in this breed of sheep. economic value for a t...
