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...

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...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

Genetic and physiological factors associated with gonadotropic and thyrotropic hormone content of sheep pituitaries

Creator:: Plotka, Edward Dennis
Abstract:: Data were taken from 47 animals consisting of five breeds: Border Cheviot, Columbia, Dorset Horn, Suffolk, and Willamette. Both sexes were represented in each breed, although in unequal numbers. The pituitaries were assayed for gonadotropic and thyrotropic hormone content by injecting a suspension of the macerated gland in saline into...

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...

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...
