A total of 72124 fertility records was used to estimate the genetic and phenotypic trend of fertility traits in Iranian Holstein cow from 1981 to 2007. Fertility traits in this study were: days from calving to first service (DFS), number of insemination per conception (INS), days open (DO), interval between first and last insemination (IFL), calving interval (CI) and success to first inseminati...

Screening of twenty-four candidate plus trees from naturally available Pongamia pinnata genetic resources was carried out to elucidate the genetic variation and relationship of pod and seed traits on germination capacity to select the best planting material for higher productivity. The experiment conducted at Forest Research Centre, Institute of Forest Productivity Mandar, Ranchi during 2005-20...

In this study test-day records of milk (kg), fat (g), and protein (g) yields, somatic cell score (SCS, cells/ML) collected by Animal Breeding Center of Iran during 2007 and 2009 were used to estimate genetic parameters using random regression model. Models with different order of Legendre polynomials were compared using Bayesian information criterion (BIC).For milk, fat yield and SCS genetic an...

a selection program is being implemented to improve meat production in makooei sheep. increasing litter size per ewe is the main objective, but possible repercussions on weight traits of lambs should be considered. the aim of this study was to estimate heritability along with genetic and phenotypic correlations between ewe's reproductive vs. weight traits in makooei ewes. data were comprised of...

in this study, genetic parameters and (co)variance components were estimated for weights at birth, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 months, daily weight gain from birth to 3 months and daily weight gain from 3 month to 12 month, keliber ratio from birth to 3 months and keliber ratio from 3 to 12 month, and production of fleece for south khorasan goats at sarbisheh station over a period of 16 years (1996–2012). ...
