Mapping of quantitative trait loci for growth and carcass traits in commercial sheep populations.

Journal of animal science - 1 Aug 2004

Abstract excerpt

Quantitative trait loci analyses were applied to data from Suffolk and Texel commercial sheep flocks in the United Kingdom. The populations comprised 489 Suffolk animals in three half-sib families and 903 Texel animals in nine half-sib families. Phenotypic data comprised measurements of live weight at 8 and 20 wk of age and ultrasonically measured fat and muscle depth at 20 wk. Lambs and their sires were...
