Alternative methods of selection for litter size in mice: II. Response to thirteen generations of selection.

Journal of animal science - 1 Nov 1990

Gion J M, Clutter A C, Nielsen M K

Abstract excerpt

Selection was conducted on an index of components of litter size (I = 1.21 x ovulation rate + 9.05 x ova success; ovulation rate measured by number of corpora lutea and ova success measured as number of pups born + number of corpora lutea), on uterine capacity (measured as number of pups born to unilaterally ovariectomized dams) and on litter size concurrent with an unselected control for 13 generations....
