Crossbreeding and Meat Quality in Pigs [PDF]

open access: possible, 1987
A review is presented on heterosis for meat quality. The classical view, i.e. no significant heterosis, is to be revised to some extent when considering specific meat quality traits in specific crosses. Evidence is presented for two main deviations from additive inheritance of breed differences in crossing.

The Utilization of Mutants in Crossbreeding

1983
The experiences, obtained in mutation breeding, show that it is possible in principle to develop a commercial variety directly from an induced mutant. According to the results available in this field, it is, however, the opinion of many geneticists, that the utilization of useful mutants in crossbreeding programs is more prospective.

Crossbreeding in farm animals. V. Analysis of crossbreeding plans with secondary crossbred generations

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 1995
SummaryStarting with the consideration of a two‐locus system of a diploid organism, a general model for crossbreeding parameters, including additive, dominance, additive × additive, additive × dominance and dominance × dominance effects, is derived. A general procedure for the calculation of the coefficients of the crossbreeding parameters is described.

"Crossbreeding" Geographical Quantities

Geographical Review, 1955
A s INCONCEIVABLE as a "boneless vertebrate" is a "nonquantitative geography." Estimates and measurements of terrestrial magnitudes-distances, directions, dimensions-have always constituted the framework of geographical knowledge. There are, however, degrees and standards of "quantitivity." Those attained by Eratosthenes and Ptolemy were comparatively ...

Crossbreeding parameters for fertility traits in a rotational crossbreeding between Landrace and Piétrain pigs

Journal of Zhejiang University-SCIENCE A, 2002
The reproduction characteristics of 343 sows in six different breeding groups were analyzed to estimate the crossbreeding parameters. The results indicated that the ovulation rate and the weights of uterus and ovary are mainly determined by the additive genetic effects while the nonadditive genetic effects play an important role in embryonal traits and

Crossbreeding; Diallel Cross

1978
The diallel method used by Anisman (1976a) involves crossing each strain with every other reciprocally so that, as in this case, the use of three parental strains generates a 3 × 3 diallel table of family means in which the reciprocal crosses, by which prenatal maternal effects can be detected (see Section 9.1), are distributed symmetrically around the
