Effects of seven breeds of cow's sire and 12 breeds of cow's maternal grandsire on preweaning performance of crossbred cows and their calves were examined in data from two experiments conducted at the Roman L. Hruska U.S. Mean Animal Research Center. Data included 1,836 records over three to five parities for 516 cows by 143 sires and by 307 maternal grandsires. The statistical model fitted eff...

The first phase of this s tudy was the production of contemporary straightbred (SB) and reciprocal crossbred (F 1 ) bulls by mating Angus (A) bulls to A and Santa Gertrudis (SG) cows and SG bulls to SG and A cows. Of the bulls produced during the 4-yr period, those used for breeding included 15 A, 15 SG, 8 A x SG and 8 SG x A. For 205-d weight and weight /day of age (W/DA) postweaning, A X SG h...

The full coding sequence for porcine erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) was elucidated using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (rtPCR) and 3' and 5' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) procedures. Total RNA collected from Day 30 fetal liver was used as starting material. A 1843 bp sequence was obtained from which could be inferred a 509 amino acid protein which was 79-85% id...

Immunization of crossbred and F1 mice with combined killed and live Gross leukemia virus AKR type-C viral vaccines suppressed endogeneous N-type AKR virus up to 10,000-fold for significant periods during early life. Since several previous studies in the same and similar crossbred systems revealed direct correlations between low and high levels of type-C virus early in life with low and high inc...
