Genetics of sheep transferrins as determined by disc electrophoresis

Creator:: Nix, Carroll Eugene
Abstract:: A total of 902 plasma samples from the Rambouillet, Targhee, Columbia, Lincoln, and Suffolk breeds of sheep were analyzed for transferrin type by disc electrophoresis. Six transferrin types, Tf[superscript A], Tf[superscript B], Tf[superscript C], Tf[superscript p], Tf[superscript E], and Tf[superscript P], were found in the Rambouillet, Targhee, and Columbia breeds...

Comparative values of liver nicotinamide nucleotide coenzymes, endocrine glands, and their relationships with production traits of diallel crossed beef bulls

Creator:: Anwar-Afghan, Mohammad
Abstract:: This investigation for the first time reports information on the correlation of various forms and ratios of nicotinamide nucleotide coenzymes in the liver tissue and endocrine glands weight with various production traits. Fifty-five inbred and line cross beef bulls raised under standard management conditions and slaughtered at 1000 lbs. body...

Serum T₄ and liver NAD and NADP as performance indicators in beef cattle

Creator:: Brokaw, Bryan Edward
Abstract:: The relationships of serum T₄ (thyroxine) levels and liver nicotinamide nucleotide coenzyme (NAD and NADP) levels with production of traits of beef cattle were investigated at both weaning (182 kg) and following performance testing (363 kg). In addition, the value of these parameters as selection criteria for improved performance was...

Genetic polymorphism of sheep hemoglobin

Creator:: Templeton, Joe Wayne, 1941-
Abstract:: Five breeds of sheep (Columbia, Targhee, Rambouillet, Lincoln, and Suffolk) were found to possess two hemoglobin types (Hb. A and Hb. B) when their hemoglobins were examined by disc gel electrophoresis. The hemoglobin alleles proved to be co-dominant. Three of the breeds (Columbia, Targhee, and Rambouillet) were maintained at altitudes...

The relationship between x-ray induced teratogeny and chromosome aberrations in golden hamster embryos

Creator:: Jones, William Elvin
Abstract:: The relationship between x-ray induced chromosome aberrations and x-ray induced embryonic abnormalities was studied. Golden hamsters were irradiated during four stages of gestation: the blastocyst stage, 4.5 days post-copulation; the primitive streak stage, 6.5 days post-copulation; the organogenesis stage, 9.5 days post-copulation; and the period of fetal growth, 11.5 days...

Hormonal stimulation of breeding activity in different genetic groups of ewe lambs

Creator:: West, Dennis Errol, 1942-
Abstract:: An investigation of the effects of exogenous gonadotropic treatments on fertility of various genetic groups of ewe lambs were run over a six-year period. Since hormonal treatments varied and the experimental animals were different from one breeding season to the next, each year comprised a separate study. Hormone treatment included...

Estimates of combining abilities, heterotic effects and phenotypic correlations among in-bred lines of beef cattle and their line-crosses

Creator:: Humes, Paul Edwin
Abstract:: The investigations were based on a complete diallel cross among three inbred lines of Hereford cattle. Records of Angus calves born during the same period were used to obtain more accurate estimates of environmental effects and to determine breed differences among the various traits included in the study. Estimates of...

An analysis of the response to selection for high and low rate of gain in the mouse, Mus musculus

Creator:: Burrill, Melinda Jane
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted to examine the responses to selection for high and low rate of gain in the mouse under a system whereby inbreeding was maximized. Rate of gain was measured by an index designed to include gains in both the pre- and postweaning periods with the gains in...

Certain genetic and maternal environmental influences on growth rate and body composition of lambs

Creator:: Addleman, Albert Duane
Abstract:: The present study was designed to investigate the relationship of milk production and milk quality to growth rate and certain organ-oleptic measurements of lambs of mutton breeds, Nine mature ewes in their fourth lactation of the Border Cheviot, Dorset Horn, Columbia, Suffolk, and Willamette breeds were acquired making a total...

Ova tranfers in sheep and rabbits : studies on material influences and irradiation damage

Creator:: Hunt, William Lynn
Abstract:: The first study utilized ova transfer in sheep and involved hormonal treatments for synchronization of estrus and superovulation in an investigation of crossbred maternal influences on inbred and linecross lambs. Synchronization of estrus in ewes was achieved effectively with either oral progestogen, 6 α-methyl-17α-hydroxy-progesterone acetate (60 mg./ewe/day), or intramuscular injections...
