Genotype–environment interactions for growth and carcass traits in different pig breeds kept under conventional and organic production systems

Animal, 2010
The demand for special breeding programmes for organic pig meat production is based on the assumption that pigs kept under organic conditions need different biological properties compared with conventionally kept pigs in order to achieve a good ...

Snps detected in the sirt1 and h-fabp genes and their association with growth traits in yak [PDF]

Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2019
The aims of this study were to investigate whether the Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and Hear fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) genes could be used as candidate genes in the breeding of yak. In 409 indigenous Chinese yaks, two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) mapping for growth traits in the mouse: A review [PDF]

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2001
The attainment of a specific mature body size is one of the most fundamental differences among species of mammals. Moreover, body size seems to be the central factor underlying differences in traits such as growth rate, energy metabolism and body composition. An important proportion of this variability is of genetic origin.
