Genetic variation in litter size and kit survival of mink (Neovison vison).

Journal of animal breeding and genetics = Zeitschrift fur Tierzuchtung und Zuchtungsbiologie - 1 Dec 2010

Hansen B K, Su G, Berg P

Abstract excerpt

The aims of this study are to estimate variance components of litter size and kit survival rate and estimate genetic correlations of litter size and kit survival rate with dam's juvenile body weight and pregnancy length. Variance components for litter size and kit survival were analysed using an AI-REML approach, based on data from 1940 litters of the black colour type mink from 1996 to 2001. The models included...
