  • Morphology of epididymal spermatozoa from inbred and linecross bulls

    Creator:
    Turner, H. A.
    Abstract:
    Data were presented on epididymal spermatozoa from 29 inbred and linecross bulls raised at Oregon State University in connection with the Western Regional Beef Cattle Breeding Project, W-1. The inbred bulls came from four inbred lines. Three of these inbred lines were Herfords and the other line was Angus. The...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Gonadotropins in pituitaries of inbred and linecross beef bulls and effects of irradiation of mammalian pituitary glands on their ability to induce in vitro ovulation of frog ovaries

    Creator:
    North, Warren Arthur
    Abstract:
    There were two studies involved in the thesis research. In the first study, variation in the amount of adenohypophysis gonadotropins among 22 individual beef bulls were investigated. These bulls represented four inbred lines, and six linecrosses. The bulls were raised in the Oregon State University purebred herd. The bulls were...

  • 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...
