MATERIALS AND METHODS The mice used in this study were obtained from 9th generation
selection and random control populations developed from a foundation ICR strain obtained …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Progeny were from a line selected for nine generations for
high postweaning weight gain from 21 to 42 days of age and a random control line …

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 …

Selection for feed conversion substantially influenced growth and gross feed efficiency of
mice. Realized heritabilities and genie correlation for increased gain on fixed feed intake …

Average daily feed consumption (ADFC) and feed efficiency (FE, gain/feed) from 21 to 42
days of age were measured in three groups of mice during generations 11 through 14 of a …

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 …

This study aimed to test the hypothesis that if animals were fed the same amount over the
same time period, selection of the fastest growers would result in a change in the partitioning …

Four lines of mice were created from F2's of highly inbred lines. One of the lines was
maintained as a control line; in the other three lines an initial nine generations of mass …

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 …

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 …
