A study of heterogeneity of environmental variance for slaughter weight in pigs

Ibañez Escriche, Noelia; Varona, L.; Sorensen, D.; Noguera, J.L. (Cambridge University Press, 2008)

[EN] This work presents an analysis of heterogeneity of environmental variance for slaughter weight (175 days) in pigs. This heterogeneity is associated with systematic and additive genetic effects. The model also postulates ...
Correlated Response on Growth Traits and Their Variabilities to Selection for Ovulation Rate in Rabbits Using Genetic Trends and a Cryopreserved Control Population

Peiró Barber, Rosa Mª; Quirino, Celia; Blasco Mateu, Agustín; Santacreu, María-Antonia (MDPI AG, 2021-09)

[EN] Simple Summary A successful response was obtained after selection for ovulation rate during 10 generations in rabbits. However, no correlated response in litter size was observed due to an increase in prenatal mortality. ...
Correlated responses on growth traits after two-stage selection for ovulation rate and litter size in rabbits

Peiró Barber, Rosa Mª; Yehia-Badawy Elmoghazy, Ahmed; Blasco Mateu, Agustín; Santacreu Jerez, María Antonia (Cambridge University Press, 2019-11)

[EN] Rabbit commercial maternal lines are usually selected for litter size (LS) and paternal lines for growth rate (GR). Line OR_LS was selected by ovulation rate (OR) and LS to improve LS more efficiently. In this study, ...
