Maturing Pattern for Body Weight, Body Length and Height at Withers of Jamnapari and Boer Goats
The objective of this study was to examine the growth pattern of three size measurements, namely body weight, body length, and height at withers of Jamnapari and Boer goats reared under common semi-intensive environment in Johor, Malaysia. Cross-sectional data of the above measurements of 234 Jamnapari and 312 Boer female goats (age ranged from 6 to 54 months) were used to fit Gompertz and von ...
متن کاملHeight at the withers estimation in the horses based on the internal dimension of cranial cavity.
The investigations were carried out on 17 modern half-breed horse skulls and their metacarpal and metatarsal bones. The basal length (BL), total length (TL), internal cranial cavity dimension and maximal length of metacarpus and metatarsus and maximal lateral length of metacarpus and metatarsus were measured according to Kiesewalter and von den Driesch. During height at the withers estimation, ...

The aims of the present study were to propose apolymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphismPCR-RFLP genotyping method for the AY_376689:c.773C>T single nucleotide polymorphism SNP of the equine PRKAG3 gene, related to muscle performance, as well as to characterize this SNP and a second polymorphism, AAWR_02017454:g.121684T>C of the SPATA1 gene, related to male fertility, i...
متن کاملHeritability parameters for some body measurements in Turkish Arabian foals
The aim of the present study was to estimate genetic parameters of body measurements in TurkishArabian foals. Records of wither height, front cannon circumference, heart girth, and body length were usedfor body measurements at birth, 6 months of age, 1-year-old and 2-year-old. Heritability of bodymeasurements of Turkish Arabian foals was estimated by using records of foals sired by stallions wh...
متن کاملDivergent selection for four-week body weight in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica): response to selection and realized heritability
The Japanese quail has been utilized as a research species in establishing the genetic relationships that may also be present in other species. Divergent phenotypic selection for 4-wk BW was conducted for three generations in high (HW) and low (LW) lines. Within each line, 50 females and 25 males were selected among 600 birds, based on 4-wk BW. Mean BW at 4 wk of age in the base generation was ...
