In farm animals, both genetic and non-genetic factors affect reproductive traits. These factors
can be categorized as intrinsic and extrinsic. Extrinsic factors relate to the animal's …

Using Kermani sheep, the current study estimated (co) variance components and genetic
parameters for average daily gain, Kleiber's ratio, growth efficiency, and relative growth rate …

In the realm of animal phenotyping, manual measurements are frequently utilized. While
machine-generated data show potential for enhancing high-throughput breeding, additional …

The present study was carried out to estimate the genetic parameters for direct and maternal
influences on Mecheri sheep (Ovis aries) growth traits using Bayesian multi-trait animal …

The aim of this investigation was to find single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the
myostatin (MSTN) and the beta-3 adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) genes associated with …

Simple Summary Animal breeders are always interested in improving the economically
important traits such as growth by selecting and breeding genetically superior animals. The …

This study was designed to evaluate various genetic parameters for growth characteristics,
genetic progression, and to find out the genetic constitution of a population of Mecheri …

ABSTRACT A study was conducted to assess the genetic potential of Mecheri sheep under
farmers' field conditions and to identify the non-genetic factors affecting growth traits. The …

An understanding of genetic information and relationships among traits is required for an
improvement programme to be successful. Therefore, this study aims to estimate certain (co) …

The aim of this study was to analyze the environmental factors impacting preweaning growth
traits in Morkaraman herds and to categorize weaning weight using the Gaussian mixture …
