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...

Effectiveness of selection for productive characteristics in developing the Montana no. I hogs

Creator:: McEwen, Wesley Charles
Abstract:: One of the most important productive characteristics of hogs is reproductive efficiency. Reproductive efficiency is best measured by litter size at weaning. Litter size at birth and weight of the pigs at birth are among the most important factors affecting litter size at weaning. It has been demonstrated that less...

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...

Effectiveness of selection for gains in body weight in beef cattle

Creator:: Hitchcock, Glen Henry
Abstract:: Research has yielded valuable information about the inheritance of body weight in many mammals. The results with one species may not be directly applicable to another species, but since the results do not contradict genetic theory, one must assume that the same general rules apply to all species. When the...

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...

Association of genetically determined polymorphic blood components with prolificacies of purebred and crossbred pigs

Creator:: Kray, Roger LeRoy
Abstract:: Crossmatings were accomplished among three semi-closed lines within a population of pigs, for the purpose of investigating effects of crossbreeding on reproductive traits. Two of the lines were purebred (Berkshire and Yorkshire); the third line ("Composite") consisted of descendants from inter se matings among offspring of crosses of the Berkshire...

Effectiveness of index and elite selection methods

Creator:: Douglass, Larry W.
Abstract:: Mice were used to compare the index and elite selection methods for simultaneous selection of four traits. Selection was for litter size, birth weight, weaning weight and post-weaning gain. Progress was evaluated by examining total phenotypic merit. The standard deviations from the cycle mean for the four traits were summed...

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...
