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...

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,...

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...

Influence of chelating agents on cytological exchanges and genetic recombination in Zea mays L.

Creator:: Jones, Donald Dean
Abstract:: The present investigation with the chromosomes of Zea mays was conducted to determine: (1) the effects of chelating agents on the process of cytological exchange, and (2) the effects of chelating agents on genetic recombination. To ascertain the influence of chelating agents on cytological exchange, four known heterozygolis paracentric inversion...

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...

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...

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...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

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...

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...

Some genetic and environmental factors affecting weaning weights of lambs

Creator:: Dahmen, J. J. (Jerome John), 1919-
Abstract:: Eight purebred rams (four Suffolk and four Panama) previously selected as high and low on the basis of post-weaning performance feed test of 84 days were used each of three years. Each of the rams was mated to approximately 25 grade Panama ewes each year. One ram and 25 ewes...
