Heredit, (1973), 31(2), 165-180 ANALYSIS OF GENE ACTION IN THE CONTROL OF BODY WEIGHT IN THE CHICKEN J. R. MORTON Deportment of Applied Biology, University of Cambridge Received 1188.ix.72 SUMMARY Gene action and interaction in the control of body weight of chickens at 0, 4, 8, 12...
Those resources also don’t account for mixed breed cats. If your cat is a mix of two or more breeds, you may struggle to pinpoint an average weight or range for them. What then? A Better Way to Determine Your Cat’s Ideal Weight ...
The aim of this study was to undertake a comparative evaluation of the body weight and linear body measurements of three indigenous chicken breeds of South Africa, namely: Naked neck, Venda and Potchefstroom koekoek. A total of 222 records obtained from the three intensively reared breeds were ...
Biological mechanisms discriminating growth rate and adult body weight phenotypes in two Chinese indigenous chicken breeds Article Open access 20 June 2017 Literature Blaxter, K.L. (1968): The effect of the dietary energy supply on growth. Growth and development of animals. (Eds.: Lodge, G....
In another study of 15 breeds of sheep from naturally mated flocks (Donald and Russell, 1970), average regression coefficients between litter weight and ewe weight were 0.721 for singles and 0.741 for twins. Corresponding estimates in the triplets from a smaller number of ewes and a fewer breeds...
Hi Denise, as a Maine Coon-Ragdoll mix, Milo could be quite large and still be healthy. Both breeds are big cats, and at 18 months, he might still be growing. I can't give you an exact number, but an average weight for a male could be around 15-18 pounds. ...
Of these, 2709 SNPs were located within the genes. These suggestive significant SNPs were widely and evenly distributed across all autosomal chromosomes (Table S7). The average number of genetic variants for each microbiota trait was 86. The most significant associations were Prevotellaceae Ga6A1 ...
Together they form an ideal model system to study the biological mechanisms underlying broiler chicken selection responses in a natural system. The objective of this study was to study the biological mechanisms underlying differential phenotypes between the two breeds in muscle and liver tissues, and ...
The percentage of average body weight loss per week was within the recommended range for dogs (1 to 2%) [38]. These results are of paramount importance, as they demonstrate that the weight loss program in all animals was carried out in a healthy and appropriate manner. ...
Discriminating different chicken breeds based on their phenotypic characteristics is one strategy to avoid chicken adulteration. The main objective of this study was to authenticate and group dominant chicken breeds in Malaysia, including commercial chickens (Cobb, Hubbard, DeKalb) and cross-bred village...
