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...

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...

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...

Actual and predicted response to selection on maternally influenced traits in the mouse

Creator:: Lind, Ronald Egnard
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted to determine if selection from standardized litters would be effective in separating lines of mice selected for increased and decreased litter weight at 14 days of age, and if response to selection on this maternally influenced trait could be accurately predicted. Data were collected on litter...

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...

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...

A clinical and genetic study of tuberous sclerosis

Creator:: Edwards, Thomas Allen
Abstract:: Tuberous sclerosis is a serious heritable human disorder that involves many organ systems. It was first recognized as a disease entity over a century ago. Its mode of transmission in familial cases has been fairly well established to be that of a single gene locus autosomal dominant trait. However, the...

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...
