A Bayesian analysis of the effect of selection for growth rate on growth curves in rabbits

Blasco, Agustín; Piles, Miriam; Varona Aguado, Luís (BioMed Central, 2003)

Gompertz growth curves were tted to the data of 137 rabbits from control (C) and selected (S) lines. The animals came from a synthetic rabbit line selected for an increased growth rate. The embryos from generations 3 ...
A genomewide association study in divergently selected lines in rabbits reveals novel genomic regions associated with litter size traits

Sosa‐Madrid, Bolívar Samuel; Santacreu, María Antonia; Blasco, Agustín; Fontanesi, Luca; Pena i Subirà, Ramona Natacha; Ibáñez-Escriche, N. (Blackwell Verlag GmbH, 2019)

Uterine capacity (UC), defined as the total number of kits from unilaterally ovariectomized does at birth, has a high genetic correlation with litter size. The aim of our research was to identify genomic regions associated ...
Genomic regions influencing intramuscular fat in divergently selected rabbit lines

Sosa‐Madrid, Bolívar Samuel; Hernández, Pilar; Blasco, Agustín; Haley, Chris; Fontanesi, Luca; Santacreu, María Antonia; Pena i Subirà, Ramona Natacha; Navarro, Pau; Ibáñez-Escriche, N. (Wiley, 2019-11-07)

Intramuscular fat (IMF) is one of the main meat quality traits for breeding programmes in livestock species. The main objective of this study was to identify genomic regions associated with IMF content comparing two rabbit ...
