Heritability of and genetic correlations among production and reproduction traits as well as genetic trends over eight years of selection were estimated in W11 (maternal) and W33 (paternal) lines of geese. Considered was body weight on week 8 (BW8) and week 11 (BW11), number of eggs produced (EP), egg weight (EW), percentage of fertility (PFE), and percentage of hatchability from eggs fertilized (PHC)...
The objective of the study was to assess the mortality risk of David’s deer associated with climatic conditions by the use of hazard function within clustered populations and according to place of birth. Additionally, the inbreeding level was examined within each cluster. Records were considered of 1192 individuals born in 56 zoological gardens in the years 1947-2000. Censored data (animals which...
The objectives of the study were to estimate chosen effects (sex, color variety, farm and partitution) on body weight and hair layer hight characters as well as correlations between these traits. Furthemore, heritabilities of traits studied were also estimated. The research was carried on three reproductive farms keeping animals in four basic coat varieties: standard, Sapphire blue, Greenland and...
In a group of purebred Arab mares the level of inbreeding and its effect on three body conformation traits was determined. Moreover, estimated were heritability coefficients of the traits and their phenotypic,genetic and environmental trends. Considered were conformation records of 706 Arab mares born in the years 1936- 1993. The mean inbreeding level of mares was 0.88%. No considerable effect of...
Survival and hazard functions supply suitable information concerning changes in the population dynamics, especially in the case of species that are not subjected to artificial selection. One of such species is David’s deer (Elaphurus davidianus Milne-Edwards, 1866) that underwent a dramatic reduction in the population size in the first years of the XX century, but has been subsequently restored from...
Forty ducks aged 7 weeks of strains A44 and P66 and conservative flocks P33 and K2 were investigated, 5 males and 5 females from each. Carcass composition was determined and microstructure of pectoralis maior muscle analysed. Males and females of strain A44 and those from flock K2 were characterized by a significantly greater breast muscles per cent of carcass compared to strain P66 and flock P33,...
