为计算贵州黑山羊生长性状的遗传参数,试验建立了三种不同混合模型,运用平均信息-期望最大约束似然法(EM-AI REML)对贵州黑山羊初生重、3月龄体重、12月龄体重和24月龄体重的遗传力进行估计,最后使用赤池信息法则(AIC)对各模型进行验证。结果表明:不同的模型对遗传力的估计存在差异,当模型中只设加性效应为随机效应时,模型对贵州黑山羊12月龄体重和24月龄体重的遗传力估计最准确;当设加性效应和母体遗传效应为随机效应时,模型对初生重和3月龄体重的遗传力估计最准确。说明贵州黑山羊初生重、3月龄体重受母体遗传效应的影响较大,而12月龄体重和24月龄体重受母体遗传效应影响较小;贵州黑山羊的生长性状属于中等遗传力性状。  相似文献

不同模型估计中国荷斯坦牛生产寿命遗传参数   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
旨在估计中国荷斯坦牛生产寿命遗传参数,同时比较不同模型的预测可靠性和稳定性。本研究使用单性状动物模型、单性状公畜模型和多性状动物模型对北京地区29个牧场90049头中国荷斯坦母牛的生产寿命数据进行遗传参数估计,所有模型均考虑了场、出生年季、头胎产犊月龄组的固定效应,个体加性遗传效应(动物模型)或父亲遗传效应(公畜模型)的随机效应和残差效应。结果表明,单性状动物模型和单性状公畜模型估计的生产寿命遗传力分别为0.052和0.047,多性状动物模型估计的遗传力较为稳定,介于0.057与0.069之间,多性状动物模型的遗传相关在0.779~0.998之间。对于存在大量在群个体(删失记录)的数据,使用基于前三胎数据的多性状动物模型较为合适,模型预测稳定性更高。本研究对中国荷斯坦牛生产寿命进行了遗传评估,为提高牧场效益、实现平衡育种提供了理论基础。  相似文献

试验旨在构建新疆褐牛不同生长阶段体尺体重性状的遗传参数估计模型,估计新疆褐牛生长发育性状的遗传参数,为新疆褐牛育种目标性状的确定和综合选择指数的制定提供理论依据。以1983－2017年收集的4个新疆褐牛核心育种场81头公牛后代的2 504条新疆褐牛体尺体重数据为研究材料,以初生及6、12和18月龄阶段的体重、体高、体斜长和胸围性状为研究对象,通过DMU软件构建多性状动物模型,以场、出生年份、出生季节和性别为固定效应,以加性效应和母体效应为随机效应,估计各性状的遗传力和遗传相关。结果显示,新疆褐牛初生至18月龄阶段体重遗传力估计值为0.22~0.61,体高遗传力估计值为0.43~0.46,体斜长遗传力估计值为0.29~0.52,胸围遗传力估计值为0.35~0.61。相同和不同生长阶段新疆褐牛各体尺体重性状间均呈现正的遗传相关和表型相关,其中相同生长阶段各体尺体重性状间的遗传相关系数为0.11~0.92,表型相关系数为0.05~0.92;不同生长阶段各体尺体重性状间的遗传相关系数为0.08~0.92,表型相关系数为0.01~0.72。18月龄与其他各生长阶段间体尺体重性状的遗传相关系数较高,且均属于中高遗传力性状。因此,在制定新疆褐牛综合选择指数时,应重点考虑18月龄阶段的体尺体重性状,从而进一步提升新疆褐牛生长发育性状的遗传进展。  相似文献

【目的】研究旨在分析场、出生季节、出生月份、出生类型和性别对湖羊初生重性状的影响,并估计该性状的遗传力。【方法】运用SAS 9.2软件对2021年新疆地区3个规模化湖羊养殖企业共计4 570只母羊所产的8 352只羔羊初生重作非遗传因素分析,使用DMU软件对湖羊初生重性状进行方差组分估计,并使用两种单性状动物模型估计该性状的遗传力,根据赤池信息准则(Akaike’s information criterion,AIC)确定最佳固定效应组合和动物模型。【结果】场、出生季节、出生月份、出生类型和性别对湖羊的初生重均有极显著影响(P＜0.01)。场1和场2羔羊初生重无显著差异(P＞0.05),且均极显著大于场3羔羊的初生重(P＜0.01);冬季出生的羔羊的初生重整体较大,其中以1月出生的羔羊初生重最大;出生类型越丰富,其羔羊初生重越小,各出生类型间羔羊初生重均呈现出极显著差异(P＜0.01);根据单性状动物模型(考虑母体效应)的计算得出,湖羊初生重性状的直接、母体、总体遗传力分别为0.251、0.668、0.211,属于中等遗传力。【结论】在对羊场首年的生产数据分析时,选用出生月份作为时令因素相比出生季节更为合适,不仅可以剖析各月份养殖单位湖羊的生产情况以做出相应的繁殖计划调整,而且选用月份固效组可增加性状遗传参数估计值的准确性;对于湖羊初生重性状在不考虑母体效应的情况下,会导致该性状的遗传力估计值偏大,故在受母体效应影响较大的早期阶段理应优先考虑母体效应。  相似文献

The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for growth traits in Mexican Nellore cattle. A univariate animal model was used to estimate (co)variance components and genetic parameters. The traits evaluated were birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), and yearling weight (YW). Models used included the fixed effects of contemporary groups (herd, sex, year, and season of birth) and age of dam (linear and quadratic) as a covariate. They also included the animal, dam, and residual as random effects. Phenotypic means (SD) for BW, WW, and YW were 31.4 (1.6), 175 (32), and 333 (70) kg, respectively. Direct heritability, maternal heritability, and the genetic correlation between additive direct and maternal effects were 0.59, 0.17, and −0.90 for BW; 0.29, 0.17, and −0.90 for WW; and 0.24, 0.15, and −0.86 for YW, respectively. The results showed moderate direct and maternal heritabilities for the studied traits. The genetic correlations between direct and maternal effects were negative and high for all the traits indicating important tradeoffs between direct and maternal effects. There are significant possibilities for genetic progress for the growth traits studied if they are included in a breeding program considering these associations.  相似文献

The genetic parameters for Brahman cattle under the tropical conditions of Mexico are scarce. Therefore, heritabilities, additive direct and maternal correlations, and genetic correlations for birth weight (BW) and 205 days adjusted weaning weight (WW205) were estimated in four Brahman cattle herds in Yucatan, Mexico. Parameters were estimated fitting a bivariate animal model, with 4,531 animals in the relationship matrix, of which 2,905 had BW and 2,264 had WW205. The number of sires and dams identified for both traits were 122 and 962, respectively. Direct heritability estimates for BW and WW205 were 0.41?±?0.09 and 0.43?±?0.09, and maternal heritabilities were 0.15?±?0.07 and 0.38?±?0.08, respectively. Genetic correlations between direct additive and maternal genetic effects for BW and WW205 were ?0.41?±?0.22 and ?0.50?±?0.15, respectively. The direct genetic, maternal, and phenotypic correlations between BW and WW205 were 0.77?±?0.09, 0.61?±?0.18, and 0.35, respectively. The moderate to high genetic parameter estimates suggest that genetic improvement by selection is possible for those traits. The maternal effects and their correlation with direct effects should be taken into account to reduce bias in genetic evaluations.  相似文献

Calving ease scores from Holstein dairy cattle in the Walloon Region of Belgium were analysed using univariate linear and threshold animal models. Variance components and derived genetic parameters were estimated from a data set including 33 155 calving records. Included in the models were season, herd and sex of calf × age of dam classes × group of calvings interaction as fixed effects, herd × year of calving, maternal permanent environment and animal direct and maternal additive genetic as random effects. Models were fitted with the genetic correlation between direct and maternal additive genetic effects either estimated or constrained to zero. Direct heritability for calving ease was approximately 8% with linear models and approximately 12% with threshold models. Maternal heritabilities were approximately 2 and 4%, respectively. Genetic correlation between direct and maternal additive effects was found to be not significantly different from zero. Models were compared in terms of goodness of fit and predictive ability. Criteria of comparison such as mean squared error, correlation between observed and predicted calving ease scores as well as between estimated breeding values were estimated from 85 118 calving records. The results provided few differences between linear and threshold models even though correlations between estimated breeding values from subsets of data for sires with progeny from linear model were 17 and 23% greater for direct and maternal genetic effects, respectively, than from threshold model. For the purpose of genetic evaluation for calving ease in Walloon Holstein dairy cattle, the linear animal model without covariance between direct and maternal additive effects was found to be the best choice.  相似文献

Estimates of genetic parameters for growth traits in Kermani sheep   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
Birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), 6-month weight (W6), 9-month weight (W9) and yearling weight (YW) of Kermani lambs were used to estimate genetic parameters. The data were collected from Shahrbabak Sheep Breeding Research Station in Iran during the period of 1993-1998. The fixed effects in the model were lambing year, sex, type of birth and age of dam. Number of days between birth date and the date of obtaining measurement of each record was used as a covariate. Estimates of (co)variance components and genetic parameters were obtained by restricted maximum likelihood, using single and two-trait animal models. Based on the most appropriate fitted model, direct and maternal heritabilities of BW, WW, W6, W9 and YW were estimated to be 0.10 +/- 0.06 and 0.27 +/- 0.04, 0.22 +/- 0.09 and 0.19 +/- 0.05, 0.09 +/- 0.06 and 0.25 +/- 0.04, 0.13 +/- 0.08 and 0.18 +/- 0.05, and 0.14 +/- 0.08 and 0.14 +/- 0.06 respectively. Direct and maternal genetic correlations between the lamb weights varied between 0.66 and 0.99, and 0.11 and 0.99. The results showed that the maternal influence on lamb weights decreased with age at measurement. Ignoring maternal effects in the model caused overestimation of direct heritability. Maternal effects are significant sources of variation for growth traits and ignoring maternal effects in the model would cause inaccurate genetic evaluation of lambs.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to estimate direct and maternal genetic parameters for age at sale (AS, d), BW (kg), price (PR, €/kg), and market value (MV, €/calf) of Brown Swiss male calves (Bos taurus) from first- (n = 6,719) and second- (n = 4,405) parity dams marketed at livestock auctions from 2003 to 2007, and destined for veal production. Market value was calculated as the product of PR and BW. Restricted maximum likelihood procedures incorporating multiple trait animal models were used to infer genetic parameters for AS, BW, and PR, whereas estimates for MV were from single trait models. Bivariate analyses treating performance of calves from first- and second-parity cows as different traits were also performed. Direct heritabilities for AS, BW, and cattle prices ranged from 0.046 to 0.090, 0.078 to 0.130, and 0.064 to 0.152, respectively, and the corresponding maternal heritabilities varied from 0.020 to 0.030, 0.036 to 0.079, and 0.020 to 0.045, respectively. Direct genetic correlations between the traits were generally moderate to high and negative, whereas direct-maternal relationships were moderate to low. Genetic correlation between the same trait recorded on calves from first- and second-parity dams was less than unity, but generally high and positive, suggesting that AS, BW, PR, and MV can be treated as the same traits across parities. As calf price is routinely collected at auctions and shows genetic variation, it can be genetically improved.  相似文献

Genetic parameters and genetic trends for birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), 6-month weight (6MW), and yearling weight (YW) traits were estimated by using records of 5,634 Makooei lambs, descendants of 289 sires and 1,726 dams, born between 1996 and 2009 at the Makooei sheep breeding station, West Azerbaijan, Iran. The (co)variance components were estimated with different animal models using a restricted maximum likelihood procedure and the most appropriate model for each trait was determined by Akaike’s Information Criterion. Breeding values of animals were predicted with best linear unbiased prediction methodology under multi-trait animal models and genetic trends were estimated by regression mean breeding values on birth year. The most appropriate model for BW was a model including direct and maternal genetic effects, regardless of their covariance. The model for WW and 6MW included direct additive genetic effects. The model for YW included direct genetic effects only. Direct heritabilities based on the best model were estimated 0.15?±?0.04, 0.16?±?0.03, 0.21?±?0.04, and 0.22?±?0.06 for BW, WW, 6MW, and YW, respectively, and maternal heritability obtained 0.08?±?0.02 for BW. Genetic correlations among the traits were positive and varied from 0.28 for BW–YW to 0.66 for BW–WW and phenotypic correlations were generally lower than the genetic correlations. Genetic trends were 8.1?±?2, 67.4?±?5, 38.7?±?4, and 47.6?±?6 g per year for BW, WW, 6MW, and YW, respectively.  相似文献

Genetic parameters for birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW) and pre-weaning daily gain (PWDG) in Iranian Mehraban sheep were estimated using restricted maximum likelihood (REML) procedure. Six different animal models were fitted, differentiated by including or excluding maternal effects, with and without covariance between maternal and direct genetic effects. The estimates for direct heritability ranged from 0.26 to 0.53, 0.18 to 0.32 and 0.15 to 0.33 for BW, WW and PWDG respectively. The estimates were substantially higher when maternal effects, either genetic or environmental, were ignored in the model. The results of this study show that full models with maternal genetic and environmental effects gave the most accurate estimates for early growth traits.  相似文献

Estimates of heritabilities and genetic correlations were obtained for weaning weight records of 23,681 crossbred steers and heifers and carcass records from 4,094 crossbred steers using animal models. Carcass traits included hot carcass weight; retail product percentage; fat percentage; bone percentage; ribeye area; adjusted fat thickness; marbling score, Warner-Bratzler shear force and kidney, pelvic and heart fat percentage. Weaning weight was modeled with fixed effects of age of dam, sex, breed combination, and birth year, with calendar birth day as a covariate and random direct and maternal genetic and maternal permanent environmental effects. The models for carcass traits included fixed effects of age of dam, line, and birth year, with covariates for weaning and slaughter ages and random direct and maternal effects. Direct and maternal heritabilities for weaning weight were 0.4 +/- 0.02 and 0.19 +/- 0.02, respectively. The estimate of direct-maternal genetic correlation for weaning weight was negative (-0.18 +/- 0.08). Heritabilities for carcass traits of steers were moderate to high (0.34 to 0.60). Estimates of genetic correlations between direct genetic effects for weaning weight and carcass traits were small except with hot carcass weight (0.70), ribeye area (0.29), and adjusted fat thickness (0.26). The largest estimates of genetic correlations between maternal genetic effects for weaning weight and direct genetic effects for carcass traits were found for hot carcass weight (0.61), retail product percentage (-0.33), fat percentage (0.33), ribeye area (0.29), marbling score (0.28) and adjusted fat thickness (0.25), indicating that maternal effects for weaning weight may be correlated with genotype for propensity to fatten in steers.  相似文献

In the present study, (co)variance components and genetic parameters in Nellore sheep were obtained by restricted maximum likelihood (REML) method using six different animal models with various combinations of direct and maternal genetic effects for birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), 6-month weight (6MW), 9-month weight (9MW) and 12-month weight (YW). Evaluated records of 2075 lambs descended from 69 sires and 478 dams over a period of 8 years (2007–2014) were collected from the Livestock Research Station, Palamaner, India. Lambing year, sex of lamb, season of lambing and parity of dam were the fixed effects in the model, and ewe weight was used as a covariate. Best model for each trait was determined by log-likelihood ratio test. Direct heritability for BW, WW, 6MW, 9MW and YW were 0.08, 0.03, 0.12, 0.16 and 0.10, respectively, and their corresponding maternal heritabilities were 0.07, 0.10, 0.09, 0.08 and 0.11. The proportions of maternal permanent environment variance to phenotypic variance (Pe2) were 0.07, 0.10, 0.07, 0.06 and 0.10 for BW, WW, 6MW, 9MW and YW, respectively. The estimates of direct genetic correlations among the growth traits were positive and ranged from 0.44(BW-WW) to 0.96(YW-9MW), and the estimates of phenotypic and environmental correlations were found to be lower than those of genetic correlations. Exclusion of maternal effects in the model resulted in biased estimates of genetic parameters in Nellore sheep. Hence, to implement optimum breeding strategies for improvement of traits in Nellore sheep, maternal effects should be considered.  相似文献
