Weekly food intake and body weight were measured from 3 to 17 weeks of age on mice
selected 14 generations for increased and decreased values of one of three criteria: appetite …

Mice were selected for one of three criteria: appetite (A), measured as 4-to 6-week food
intake, adjusted by phenotypic regression to minimize change in 4-week body weight, fat …

Replicated lines of mice were selected High and Low for adjusted food intake and
contemporaneous control lines were maintained. The selection criterion was food intake …

Lines of mice were selected for 38 generations for high or low food intake between 8 and 10
weeks of age, corrected for mean 8-and 10-week weights. Three replicates were maintained …

Female reproductive performance is reported in mice selected for ten generations for one of
three criteria: either appetite (A), fat percentage (F) or total lean mass (P). For each criterion …

After seven generations of selection, a line of mice selected for post-weaning (21–42 days)
weight gain on full feeding (SF) showed significant increases of 49% in weight gain, 31% in …

Mice selected for high (H 6) and low (L 6) 6-week body weight and a randombred control
population (C 1) were characterized for rate, composition and efficiency of growth. Individual …

ROWTH rate and efficiency of feed utilization are two of the most economically important
characters in the production of meat animals. In these days of world shortage of both plant …

Some experiments on selection for growth and its components in laboratory mammals are
reviewed. Results are given from a previously published experiment in which replicated …

A review is presented of the genetic and physiological aspects of growth, body composition
and feed efficiency in mice. The genetic parameters considered are: nature and extent of …
