Male fertility and sex ratio at birth in red deer.
Efforts to test sex ratio theory have focused mostly on females. However, when males possess traits that could enhance the reproductive success of sons, males would also benefit from the manipulation of the offspring sex ratio. We tested the prediction that more-fertile red deer males produce more sons. Our findings reveal that male fertility is positively related to the proportion of male offs...

were: Choretime, Lubing, Plasson, Val, and Ziggety. Higher average maximum temperatures for the SU (32 C) versus the SP (28 C) trial, made the trials significantly different (SD) and therefore were analyzed separately. While no SD were found in BW (kg) during the SP trial, drinker D significantly reduced 42d BW (2.32) in comparison to the A (2.44), B (2.42), C (2.41), and E (2.44) systems. No S...
متن کاملSubtle manipulation of egg sex ratio in birds.
Mothers are predicted to overproduce male or female eggs when the relative fitness gains from one sex are higher and outweigh the costs of manipulation. However, in birds such biases are often difficult to distinguish from differential embryo or chick mortality. Using a molecular technique to identify the sex of early embryos, we aim to determine the effect of maternal nutrition on zebra finch ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Production and Reproduction Performances in Rhode Island Red-White Strain Chicken
This study aimed to characterize production and reproduction performances in Rhode Island Red-White strain chicken developed and maintained at the Central Avian Research Institute, Izatnagar. Three hundred and forty six fertile eggs were set in automated electric incubation and 234 chicks were investigated in three hatches. The performance data was analyzed by least squares analysis of variance...
متن کاملSingle and Combined Effects of Organic Selenium and Zinc on Egg, Fertility, Hatchability, and Embryonic Mortality of Exotic Cochin Hens
A study was conducted to examine the effects of diets supplemented with organic selenium, (Se) and zinc, (Zn) on the performance of Cochin exotic breeder hens. Forty-two week old hens (n=120) and males (n=12) were assigned to four treatment groups of 10 females and 1 male each. Birds with no mineral supplementation (Group 1); feed supplemented with .33 ppm Se (Group 2) feed supplemented with 20...
