Estimates of genetic parameters and genetic trend for reproduction, weight, and wool characteristics of Polypay sheep
The objective was to describe genetic parameters and genetic changes in litter sizes at birth and weaning (LB and LW, n =9081), birth weight (BW, n =11,896), weaning weight (WW, n =11,104), fleece weight and grade (FW and FG, n =8872), and staple length (SL, n =1805) of Polypay sheep. Direct heritability estimates from single-trait analyses were 0.11 for LB, 0.02 for LW, 0.17 for BW, 0.18 for W...
متن کاملEstimates of genetic parameters and genetic change for reproduction, weight, and wool characteristics of Columbia sheep.
Genetic parameters from both single-trait and bivariate analyses for prolificacy, weight and wool traits were estimated using REML with animal models for Columbia sheep from data collected from 1950 to 1998 at the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station (USSES), Dubois, ID. Breeding values from both single-trait and seven-trait analyses calculated using the parameters estimated from the single-trait and ...

متن کاملGenetic parameters among weight, prolificacy, and wool traits of Columbia, Polypay, Rambouillet, and Targhee sheep.
Genetic parameters for Columbia, Polypay, Rambouillet, and Targhee sheep were estimated using REML with animal models for prolificacy, weight, and wool traits. All bivariate analyses included a covariance between additive genetic effects for the two traits plus appropriate additional covariances. Number of observations by breed ranged from 5,140 to 7,095 for prolificacy traits, from 7,750 to 9,...
متن کاملEstimation of Genetic Parameters for Survival and Birth Weight in Moghani Sheep
Genetic parameters for birth weight and survival traits were estimated using data collected from 1995 to 2009 in Jafarabad Moghani Sheep Breeding Station. Number of observation for survival and birth weight were 7202 and 6585, respectively. Genetic parameters were estimated using restricted maximum likelihood (REML) procedure under 16 different models, including animal, threshold and sire mod...
