Limiting Distribution under Assortative Mating*
A multi-locus model for complete positive assortative mating is discussed. For a two-locus model, if the gene frequencies for the two loci are different, as they are likely to be, it is shown that in equilibrium the population is not composed of only two homozygous types, as is usually thought. The limiting distribution will have three homozygous genotypes depending upon the initial gene freque...
متن کاملLuteinizing hormone, testosterone, and behavioral response of male-oriented rams to estrous ewes and rams.
During the breeding season three experiments were conducted to evaluate the LH and testosterone (T) response of rams with male sexual orientation (e.g., male-oriented homosexual rams) to female sheep, to male sheep, and to treatment with LHRH. Male-oriented rams were identified through a series of sexual performance and sexual preference tests. Treatments included exposure to estrous females an...
متن کاملNutrition of Rams and Output of Spermatozoa
To determine the time taken for the output of spermatozoa by rams to respond to changes in the diet semen was collected twice daily for 63 days from two groups of rams; one received a high and the other a low plane of nutrition. 'The output of spermatozoa by rams in the two groups began to diverge at the seventh week of differential nutrition, whereas testicular size diverged after four weeks. ...
متن کاملEffects of Rams and Luteal or Follicular Phase Ewes on Preovulatory LH Surge Characteristics in Ewes*
This study aimed to investigate whether the preovulatory LH surge mechanism is involved in sheep-to-sheep interaction for oestrous synchronisation. For that purpose, anoestrous ewes were inserted with intravaginal progestagen sponges for 13 days to induce ovulation. Upon sponge withdrawal, they were introduced either to 4 rams (n = 6, ram group), or to 4 ewes which were in follicular period (n ...
متن کاملRam Mating Behaviour under Different Social Conditions
The present study was conducted to investigate the attributes of ram sexual behaviour under different social conditions. Six intact rams and eight overiectomized ewes were used in this experiment. Ewes were artificially brought into oestrus. All mating traits were recorded every 10 sec during a 1 h mating session under five social conditions viz., ram exposed to single oestrus ewe, ram exposed ...
