random regression models (rrm) are used for genetic estimations of milk traits in dairy cows. rrm utilize data on traits that are repeated during the time, such as milk trait, which allows of the evaluation of the test day production information. in this study, to estimate genetic parameters for milk production trait, test day records (tdr) were collected from the first lactation of holstein co...

the main aim of this research was to estimate the genetic and phenotypic parameters for productive and reproductive traits of esfahan native chickens. traits included body weights at hatch (bw1), 8 weeks of age (bw8), 12 weeks of age (bw12), and at sexual maturity (wsm)], age at sex maturity (asm), egg number (en), average egg weight (aew) in the first 12 weeks of production, and egg production...

The aim of present study was to estimate the genetic and phenotypic parameters for growth traits Sonadi sheep. Records lambs were collected over a period four years from unit maintained at CVAS Navania (Rajasthan) under Mega Sheep Seed Project. Traits included birth weight (BWT), three months (3MWT), six (6MWT), nine (9MWT) twelve age (12MWT). Low estimates heritability observed birth, age. Lam...

in order to estimate the genetic parameters and comparison legendre polynomials for production traits of iranian holstein dairy cattle test-day records of first lactation cows for milk yield, fat yield, protein yield, fat percentage and protein percentage traits were used. these records collected from 2006 to 2010, by the animal breeding center of iran. the genetic parameters were estimated usi...

in this study, the number of 1802 longevity records of ewes collected during 1989 to 2010 in breeding station of lori-bakhtiari sheep flocks were used to estimate of genetic, environmental and phenotypic trends for economic lifetime. the breeding values of a ewe’s lifetime were estimated by restricted maximum likelihood procedure under an animal model of univariate analysis. the best linear unb...

to conserve the genetic resources and identify the strong and weak points in sistan watermelon accessions and compare these with improved cultivars of: sugarbaby and fairfax, an experiment was carried out, based on rectangular lattic design of two replications in 2007. the morphological traits studied, included plant length, plant weight, seed weight, fruit number, fruit length, fruit width, su...
