Genetic correlations between production and semen traits in pig
Animal, 2009 Genetic correlations between production traits (average daily gain from birth till the end of the field test and ultrasonically predicted lean meat content at the end of the field test) and semen traits (semen volume, sperm concentration, motility ...

Heritability of the backtest response in piglets and its genetic correlations with production traits
Animal, 2017 The backtest response of a pig gives an indication of its coping style, that is, its preferred strategy to cope with stressful situations, which may in turn be related to production traits.

Heritability and genetic correlation estimates of semen production traits with litter traits and pork production traits in purebred Duroc pigs [PDF]
Journal of Animal Science, 2022 AbstractWe estimated heritabilities of semen production traits and their genetic correlations with litter traits and pork production traits in purebred Duroc pigs. Semen production traits were semen volume, sperm concentration, proportion of morphologically normal sperms, total number of sperm, and total number of morphologically normal sperm.

The impact of endogenous Avian Leukosis Viruses (ALVE) on production traits in elite layer lines
Poultry Science, 2021 Avian Leukosis Virus subgroup E (ALVE) integrations are endogenous retroviral elements found in the chicken genome. The presence of ALVE has been reported to have negative impacts on multiple traits, including egg production and body weight.

Bacteriocin Production: a Probiotic Trait? [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2012 ABSTRACT Bacteriocins are an abundant and diverse group of ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria and archaea. Traditionally, bacteriocin production has been considered an important trait in the selection of probiotic strains, but until recently, few studies have definitively demonstrated the impact of bacteriocin
