Association of the prion protein gene with individual tissue weights in Scottish Blackface sheep.

Journal of animal science - 1 Aug 2008

Sawalha R M, Brotherstone S, Lambe N R, Villanueva B

Abstract excerpt

This study investigated associations of prion protein (PrP) genotype with body composition and weight traits of Scottish Blackface ewes. Body composition was predicted using computer tomography (CT) scans to estimate muscle, carcass fat, internal fat, and bone weights. The traits were measured at 4 key seasonal production points (pre-mating, pregnancy, midlactation, and weaning) over 4 production cycles (2 to 5...
