The objective was to determine if end-of-test residual metabolizable energy intake (RMEI) is correlated with RMEI values calculated earlier in the test on steers fed two forage (silage) or four forage-grain diets. As the days on test increased the variation in RMEI decreased in all diets. In all...

Study of Carcass, organ, muscle, fat tissue weight and concentration in rats fed CLA or its precursors by Principal Component Analysis
Download2004
Mir, Z., Wang, Z., Goonewardene, L. A., Okine, E. K., Mir, P. S.
Carcass, organ and muscle weight, and fat tissue data were obtained from 30 weaned male Wistar rats fed one of three diets, (10 rats/diet) over a period of 60 d. The diets were base with synthetic conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), sunflower oil or beef enriched CLA. The CLA diet contained the base...

The analysis of data containing repeated observations measured on animals (experimental unit) allocated to different treatments over time is a common design in animal science. Conventionally, repeated measures data were either analyzed as a univariate (split-plot in time) or a multivariate ANOVA...

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapped to large chromosomal regions have limited utility as DNA markers for marker-assisted selection (MAS) and are less informative as a reference for the identification of the underlying causative quantitative trait nucleotides (QTN). The objective of this study...

Background Bovine whole genome linkage disequilibrium maps were constructed for eight breeds of cattle. These data provide fundamental information concerning bovine genome organization which will allow the design of studies to associate genetic variation with economically important traits and...
