Physiological responses to divergent selection for phytate phosphorus bioavailability in a randombred chicken population.
An investigation was conducted to study insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, IGF-II, insulin, glucagon, leptin, triiodothyronine (T(3)), and thyroxine (T(4)) levels in a chicken population divergently selected for P bioavailability (PBA). There were differences in growth and feed efficiency between the 2 lines. Concentrations of IGF-I, IGF-II, and T(3) were significantly greater in the high PBA ...
متن کاملGenetics of phytate phosphorus bioavailability: heritability and genetic correlations with growth and feed utilization traits in a randombred chicken population.
The current study was undertaken to estimate variance components for phytate P bioavailability (PBA) and the genetic correlations among PBA with growth and feed utilization (or intake) traits in an unselected random mating chicken population. Pedigreed data from 901 Athens-Canadian randombred chickens hatched from 26 sires, 71 dams, and 105 grandparents were used for estimation of genetic param...
متن کاملA new phytase expressed in yeast effectively improves the bioavailability of phytate phosphorus to weanling pigs.
We have recently expressed a new phytase enzyme in a yeast system. Three experiments with a total of 140 weanling crossbred pigs were conducted to examine the efficacy of this enzyme in improving the bioavailability of phytate-P in corn-soybean meal diets to young pigs. Experiment 1 compared the efficacy of this new phytase with a commercially available phytase (Natuphos, BASF) for 4 wk at an i...
متن کاملGenetic interrelationships among phosphorus, nitrogen, calcium, and energy bioavailability in a growing chicken population.
A random-mating population was used to study the genetic interrelationship between phytate P (PPB), Ca (CaB), N (NB), and energy bioavailability (EB), BW at 4 wk of age, relative growth (RG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Heritability estimates for PPB, CaB, NB, and EB were 0.09, 0.13, 0.16, and 0.10, respectively, and those of BW, RG, and FCR were 0.66, 0.15, and 0.10, respectively. Genetic...
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 ...
