  • Effects of radiation on selection progress in mice

    Creator:
    Womack, James Ernest
    Abstract:
    The effects of x-irradiation on quantitative genetic traits was investigated by comparing the response of irradiated mice to selection for litter size and 28-day weight with the response to selection for the same two traits in non-irradiated lines. Irradiated lines were maintained at three levels of x-irradiation, 25 r, 50...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

    Pinjani, Moti, 1939-
    Abstract:
    Electrocardiograms from 12 compressed male (CM), 16 compressed female (CF), ten synthetic compressed female (SCF), nine brachycephalic female (BF), and 15 dolichocephalic female (DF) dwarfs from Davis, California, taken in the scapular lead S-II (prescapular position positive and right forelimb negative) were analyzed, The data on dwarf electrocardiograms were compared...

  • Genetic and physiological relationships of growth hormone and growth in goats

    Creator:
    Simms, Danny Dale
    Abstract:
    An F₁ population resulting from mating pygmy and normal goats (local commercial breeds) was crossed to give an F₂ population. Analysis of wither height and body weight indicated that the F₂ population was intermediate between the parental types (pygmy and normal) with little overlap of phenotypic values for body size...

  • Effect of certain blood enzymes and cellular constituents on growth in different genetic groups of sheep

    Creator:
    Hutto, Daniel C.
    Abstract:
    In the present study, five breeds of ewes and their lambs were utilized. The breeds used were: Border Cheviot, Dorset Horn, Columbia, Suffolk and Willamette. In all, 31 ewes and 42 lambs were involved. The blood constituents which were determined for the ewes and lambs were: acid and alkaline phosphatase,...

    Creator:
    Riker, Joseph Thaddeus III
    Abstract:
    Thirty-six female guinea pigs were placed on a scorbutogenic diet for 14 days and then divided into groups of four. Three groups received adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) with each group given 10, 20, or 40 units. Three groups each received 50 mg of ascorbic acid and three groups received 50 mg...

  • Relationship of certain blood nitrogen constituents with growth in different genetic groups of sheep

    Creator:
    Yodseranee, Somchit
    Abstract:
    Market lamb production usually requires a short period of time. The success of production is therefore dependent upon the growth rate of the lambs which is influenced by milk yields of the ewes. Different growth potentials of animals result from a difference in their utilisation of food. Since metabolism affects...
