Abstract excerpt
Neonatal growth during the early post-partum period is closely associated with lactation performance. Neonatal growth reflects milk output and is a complex variable trait among inbred mouse strains, but few studies have compared this trait systematically across more than a few strains. In the present study, 11 inbred strains of mice were measured for a neonatal growth phenotype during the first eight days of...
