On the genetic determinism of muscular hypertrophy in the Belgian White and Blue cattle breed. II. Population data 英文参考文献.docVIP

In this paper, the transmission of the double-muscled condition is studied in the Belgian White and Blue cattle breed in a large body of testing station and field data. The distribution within the population of several phenotypic criteria related to the muscle development is shown to be systematically bimodal. In other words, 2 biological entities [conventional (conv) and double-muscling (dm)] segregate within the commercial herds using A.I. The 4 mating types (dm X dm ; dm X conv ; conv X dm ; conv X conv) produce the dm If environmental factors known to have an effect on the expression of the double-muscled condition are taken into account, the percentage of double-muscled calves born from dm X dm 100 p. ICHAUX M, model ANSET H 1985) it is also concluded from matings comes close of the percentage of double-muscled calves on the score ( with threshold. In agreement with an earlier paper this study that a major gene (symbol mh) is involved. It is also shown that there is further genetic variation, although smaller in magnitude, playing a role in the expression of the double-muscled condition and that this would be amenable to selection.

La distribution, au sein de la population, de différents critères liés au développement de la musculature est systématiquement bimodale. En d’autres termes, 2 entités biologiques, le normal et le culard, apparaissent dans les troupeaux se reproduisant par insémination artificielle. Les 4 types d’accouplements (culard X culard ; culard X normal ; normal X culard, normal X normal) donnent
