Genetic parameters for growth, body composition, and structural soundness traits in commercial gilts.
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for growth, body composition, and structural soundness traits in commercial gilt lines. The data included 1,449 gilts: 462 females from a grandparent maternal line and 987 from a parent maternal line. Growth was expressed as number of days to a constant 113.5 kg BW (DAYS) and compositional traits included loin muscle area (LMA), 10t...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Association Study Identifies Loci for Body Composition and Structural Soundness Traits in Pigs
BACKGROUND The recent completion of the swine genome sequencing project and development of a high density porcine SNP array has made genome-wide association (GWA) studies feasible in pigs. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Using Illumina's PorcineSNP60 BeadChip, we performed a pilot GWA study in 820 commercial female pigs phenotyped for backfat, loin muscle area, body conformation in addition to...
متن کاملEstimation of Genetic Parameters for Growth and Body Measurement Traits in Different Ages in Iranian Makuei Sheep
The present study aimed to estimate heritability, genetic and phenotypic correlations between body weight and body measurement traits in Iranian Makuei sheep. The used data were collected from 1989 to 2012 at Makuei Sheep Breeding Station in Maku (West Azarbayjan province). The data included body weight and five body measurement traits (body length (BL), heart girth (HG), withers height (WH), r...
متن کاملGenetic Parameters for Body Weight and Laying Traits in Mazandaran Native Breeder Hens
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...
متن کاملEstimating Genetic Parameters of Body Weight Traits in Kourdi Sheep
For estimating genetic parameters for body weight traits in Kourdi sheep data were collected from 1996 to 2013 in Kourdi Breeding Station in Northern Khorasan province of Iran. Studied traits were birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), six-month weight (6MW), nine-month weight (9MW) and yearling weight (YW). The fixed effects in the model were lambing year, sex, type of birth and age of dam. (...
