概括
为了提高奶牛的料效率,基因选择是可行的. 研究表明,将遗传残留料摄入量 (gRFI) 和遗传保存料 (gFS) 等料效率特征纳入育种目标,对产量和健康产生最小的负面影响.
科学领域:
- 动物遗传学动物遗传学
- 动物育种 动物育种
- 营养生理学 营养生理学
背景情况:
- 遗传选择对于提高牲畜料效率至关重要,因为它具有累积的好处.
- 调查料效率选择对其他育种目标特征的影响对于平衡的遗传改进至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 检查北欧总优点 (NTM) 指数中的料效率特征 (BW,gRFI,gFS) 和各种繁殖目标特征之间的遗传相关性.
- 评估选以提高料效率对奶牛产量,形状和功能特征的潜在不利影响.
主要方法:
- 利用8个群的5104头母牛的表型数据,采用牛进食系统.
- 估计基因组育种值 (GEBVs) 用单步基因组BLUP来提高料效率.
- 通过使用GEBVs之间的Pearson相关性计算了不同特征的遗传相关性.
主要成果:
- 在体重 (BW) 和寿命或NTM指数之间观察到弱负遗传相关性,与产量指数没有关联.
- 遗传残留料摄入量 (gRFI) 与产量指数的相关性较弱至中等,与功能特征的相关性较低.
- 遗传料储存 (gFS) 与框架特征呈现中度负相关性,这表明更高效的奶牛可能具有更小的框架.
结论:
- 料效率特征 (gRFI,gFS) 可以整合到繁殖目标中,对产量,功能特征和寿命产生有限的不利影响.
- 选择减少BW可能会改善寿命,但不会对产量产生负面影响.
- 该研究为优化乳牛养殖策略提供了宝贵的见解,无论是效率还是整体性能.

Heritability
719
Heritability is a statistical concept that measures the degree to which genetic differences among individuals contribute to trait variations within a population. It is a fundamental idea in genetics, often prone to misinterpretation. Heritability is expressed as a percentage, reflecting the proportion of variation in a specific trait across a population that can be linked to genetic differences. However, it's important to understand that heritability does not determine how "genetic"...

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
7.9K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

X-linked Traits
59.2K
In most mammalian species, females have two X sex chromosomes and males have an X and Y. As a result, mutations on the X chromosome in females may be masked by the presence of a normal allele on the second X. In contrast, a mutation on the X chromosome in males more often causes observable biological defects, as there is no normal X to compensate. Trait variations arising from mutations on the X chromosome are called “X-linked”.

Incomplete Dominance
31.5K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Polygenic Traits
69.8K
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...
