Heterosis in the second and third generation affects litter size in a crossbreed mink (Neovison vison) population [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2014
Litter sizes in a cross between Brown and Black mink color types were observed through six generations. Litter size was significantly affected by yearly environmental variations.

Correlated response in litter size components in rabbits selected for litter size variability [PDF]

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2017
SummaryA divergent selection experiment for the environmental variability of litter size (Ve) over seven generations was carried out in rabbits at the University Miguel Hernández of Elche. The Ve was estimated as the phenotypic variance within the female, after correcting for year‐season and parity‐lactation status. The aim of this study was to analyse

Genetic and phenotypic time trends of litter size, piglet mortality, and birth weight in pigs

Frontiers in Animal Science, 2023
IntroductionLitter size in pigs has increased steadily since 1990. Because of unfavorable genetic correlations with piglet mortality, breeding goals should include survival traits next to litter size.

Regional contingencies in the relationship between aboveground biomass and litter in the world’s grasslands [PDF]

, 2013
Based on regional-scale studies, aboveground production and litter decomposition are thought to positively covary, because they are driven by shared biotic and climatic factors.

Hypomethylation in the promoter region of ZPBP as a potential litter size indicator in Berkshire pigs [PDF]

Archives Animal Breeding, 2019
In pigs, litter size is typically defined as the total number of piglets born (TNB) or the number of piglets born alive (NBA). Increasing pig litter size is of great economic interest as a means to increase productivity.
