To understand the genetic basis of coping style in European seabass, fish from a full factorial mating (10 females x 50 males) were reared in common garden and individually tagged. Individuals coping style was characterized through behavior tests at four different ages, categorizing fish into proactive or reactive: a hypoxia avoidance test (at 255 days post hatching, dph) and 3 risk-taking test...

The objective of this study was to estimate variance components and genetic parameters for growth curve parameters in Shall sheep. Studied traits were parameters of Brody growth model which included A (asymptotic mature weight), B (initial animal weight) and K (maturation rate). The data set and pedigree information used in this study were obtained from the Animal Breeding Center of Iran and co...

Genetic parameters for birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), 6 months weight (6MW), 9 months weight (9MW) and yearling weight (YW) in Baluchi sheep were estimated using data collected during a 26-year period (1984-2010). Estimates of (co)variance components were obtained by REML procedures by fitting a linear mixed animal model. Significant random effects for each trait were explored by fitti...

The objectives were to estimate (co)variance components and genetic parameters for lactation curve traits in Holstein dairy cows in Iran. The used data were records on Holstein cows collected during January 2003 to December 2012 by the Animal Breeding Center of Iran (Karaj, Iran). In order to describe the lactation curve, an incomplete gamma function was fitted to 691200 test-day records on 962...

the objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters coupled with genetic and phonotypic trends for age at first calving (afc), open days(od) and milk yield(my) of first lactation in iranian holstein cows. records of reproduction and production for genetic evaluation from 1984 to 2005 for afc, od and my were 71736, 20126 and 20126, respectively. single and two-variable animal models w...

Sire genetic evaluations for protein yield, somatic cell score (SCS), productive life, and udder type traits from the US were correlated with sire evaluations for udder health from Denmark and Sweden and then the correlations were adjusted for accuracies to approximate genetic correlations. Traits from Denmark and Sweden included somatic cell count (SCC) and clinical mastitis from single-trait ...

the objective of this study was to estimate variance components and genetic parameters for growth curve parameters in shall sheep. studied traits were parameters of brody growth model which included a (asymptotic mature weight), b (initial animal weight) and k (maturation rate). the data set and pedigree information used in this study were obtained from the animal breeding center of iran and co...

Genetic parameters for traits evaluated in the Swedish stallion performance test (SPT) and correlations between stallion performance test traits and 4-year-old offspring results from field tests were estimated. Heritability coefficients were on average 0.40 for individual gaits under rider and 0.23–0.47 for jumping traits at SPTs. Repeatabilities between tests at 6-month intervals were 0.75–0.7...

this research used the test day data of the milk production of holstein cows from golestan, mazandaran and guilan provinces collected by animal breeding center of iran between the years of 1988-2011. permanent effects of model, including cattle blend, breeding year and season, also percent of holstein gene and age during recording, were used as a secondary variable. all data obtained in this re...
