The ability to accurately measure body or carcass composition is important for performance
testing, grading and finally selection or payment of meat-producing animals. Advances …

This paper reviews the current knowledge on the genetics of growth, carcass and meat traits
in rabbits. There is a great variety in size of rabbit breeds, from which commercial production …

Contents Technical advances and development in the market for genomic tools have
facilitated access to whole‐genome data across species. Building‐up on the acquired …

[EN] In this study, the rabbit breeding programme conducted at the Kaposvár University is
extensively discussed. Population history and recorded traits, creation of the different …

Abstract Despite Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is of importance in aquaculture
of Northeast Asia, selective breeding programs for growth performance traits remain limited …

Selective breeding refers to the selection of individuals or populations with superior genetic
traits from a population or family, for the purpose of directionally screening and enriching the …

Carcass characteristics were studied in 80 young Hungarian red deer in different ages (12,
15, 18 and 20 months of age). In all age group 10 male and 10 female were slaughtered …

Genetic parameters, inbreeding depression and genetic trends were estimated for average
daily gain between the ages of 5-10 weeks and thigh muscle volume (measured in vivo with …

Background Accumulation of detrimental mutations in small populations leads to inbreeding
depression of fitness traits and a higher frequency of genetic defects, thus increasing risk of …

Genetic parameters for 21-d litter weight (LW21) and thigh muscle volume (TMV) were
estimated, and based on these traits a two-trait selection index was created with the purpose …
