Heritability estimates and genetic correlations were obtained for body weight and scrotal circumference, adjusted, respectively, to 12 (BW12 and SC12) and 18 (BW18 and SC18) months of age, for 10 742 male Nellore cattle. The adjustments to SC12 and SC18 were made using a nonlinear logistic function, while BW12 and BW18 were obtained by linear adjustment. The contemporary groups (CGs) were defin...

The effect of ordinary and restricted selection indices on body weight at different ages changes in birth weight of Iranian Moghani sheep was studied. Traits in the aggregate genotype were birth weight (BW), body weights at 3 (BW3) and 12 months of age (BW12). Two ordinary selection indices (I1 and I2) and two restricted selection indices (R1 and R2) were constructed. BW and BW3 were included i...

the present study was conducted to estimate correlations among performance and egg quality traits in iranian native fowl. data were collected from 21,679 birdsat the isfahan native fowl breeding center to derive genetic parameters for performance traits and egg quality traits were measured on eggs of 1,020 birds. genetic correlations of performance and egg quality traits were estimated with a b...

data related to yazd native fowls (obtained during 2000-2008) yazd native fowls were made use of in the present study. the investigated traits consisted of body weight at 8 (bw8) and 12 weeks (bw12), age at sexual maturity (asm), egg number during the first three months of production period (en) and the mean egg weight at 28, 30 and 32 weeks of age (ew). the genetic and phenotypic parameters we...

Heritability, environmentaland genetic correlations between body weight at hatch (BW0), eight (BW8) and twelve (BW12) weeksof age, body weight at sexual maturity (BWM), age at sexual maturity (AFE),the weight of the first egg laid by the hen (EWM), the mean egg weight from 28 to 32 wks (EW28-32) and egg numbers (ENs) were estimated by the restricted maximum likelihood method under an animal mod...

A new structure related to previously reported structure of 12-tungstoborate Keggin-type polyoxometalate, K5[BW12O40], was synthesized and its characterization by single crystal X-ray diffraction shows the polymorph structure. Further attempts have been performed to provide three component compounds based on L-proline, lanthanoid cation and K5[BW12O40] (BW12 (II)) under hydrothermal conditions ...

heritability, environmentaland genetic correlations between body weight at hatch (bw0), eight (bw8) and twelve (bw12) weeksof age, body weight at sexual maturity (bwm), age at sexual maturity (afe),the weight of the first egg laid by the hen (ewm), the mean egg weight from 28 to 32 wks (ew28-32) and egg numbers (ens) were estimated by the restricted maximum likelihood method under an animal mod...

The objective of the present study was to investigate the polymorphism of prolactin promoter and cytosolicphosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-C) intron 3 to exon 3 regions, and its association with economictraits in native fowl of Yazd province. These traits consisted of body weight at 8 (BW8) and 12 (BW12) weeks of age, age at sexual maturity (ASM), weight at sexual maturity ...
