Genetic and non-genetic effects associated with ewe productivity in Harnali sheep

Parth Gaur et al.

Summary: The study estimated genetic parameters for ewe productivity traits of Harnali sheep by examining non-genetic effects. Significant influences of period of lambing, age, and weight of ewe on studied traits were revealed. Selection based on ewe productivity traits may result in low genetic progress, emphasizing the importance of management for better gains.

Association Analysis Between Polymorphism of Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone Genes and Growth Traits of Quail (Coturnix Coturnix)

J. Bai et al.

Summary: This study investigated SNP mutation sites of the GnRH gene in China yellow quail, Beijing white quail, and Korean quail, identifying 14 SNP mutation sites associated with various growth traits. Significant associations were found between certain SNP sites and body weight, shank length, breastbone length, and shank circumference in these quail species.
