Smith E J, Nelsen T C
Abstract excerpt
The influence of tumor virus susceptibility (tvb) alleles and the sex-linked, late-feathering-endogenous virus 21 complex (K-ev21) on early growth was observed in progeny from late-feathering (LF) and early-feathering (EF) dams. At 2, 4, 6 and 10 wk of age, homozygous (K/K) males that carried a dominant tvbs1 allele were significantly (P < .05) lighter in total body weight than K/K homozygous endogenous virus...
